Over the years, the local focus has expanded and the RCAP currently has over 300 active and associate members throughout the United States and Canada. Today these candy makers and suppliers still share information to maintain a very high quality chocolate and hard candy. The Association holds educational meetings, plant tours, a spring getaway tour and two national candy, gift & gourmet trade shows each year. The History of the Philadelphia National Candy, Gift & Gourmet Show Founded in 1949 by a few local suppliers displaying at Christmas and Easter RCAP meetings, it was an instant success. Housed in Philadelphiaʼs Broadwood Hotel then the Ben Franklin Hotel, the show grew steadily. In 1961 it was moved to the Exhibit Hall of the Sheraton at what is now Philadelphia Suburban Station. Exhibitors numbered 35, some with multiple booths. In 1974, the show celebrated 25 years with the 20 “originals” still in the buyers guide. By the mid-eighties, relocation was critical to accommodate continued expansion and in 1984, the show moved to the Valley Forge Convention Center. By then, 85 exhibitors were showing, many with expanded multi-booth displays. Attendance soared into the thousands and by 1989 fl oor space had doubled again. In 2006, the show moved to The Atlantic City Convention Center in order to accommodate all exhibitors on one show fl oor and provide a destination for attendees to incorporate business, networking opportunities and fun into their visit. In January 2016, the show moved back to the suburban Philadelphia area at the Greater Philadelphia Expo Center, co-locating along with the Philadelphia Gift Show.

She graduated from the Arcadia University Fine Arts Department in 2011 with a BFA in Painting. After working with standard panting mediums, Kirsten experimented with chocolate. When asked about the challenges of painting with chocolate Kirsten says, “Painting with chocolate is a vastly diff erent process when compared to oil or acrylic paints. Chocolate must be tempered and maintain a specifi c consistency to be workable. Additionally, it dries signifi cantly faster. So you must work quickly which is why it is the most demanding ways to paint.” Since Painting with chocolate, Kirsten has completed numerous works for the RCAP, Candy, Gift & Gourmet Shows and “Hot Chocolate” events raising money for ALS. 4 PHILADELPHIA NATIONAL CANDY GIFT & GOURMET SHOW • www.phillycandyshows.com TABLE OF CONTENTS hiitor Litin Pae SO OS loor Plan Pae Septemer am pm Seminar ent Pae Septemer am pm Full hiitor etail Pae Septemer am pm Produt Spotliht Pae Show Speial Pae hat’ New Pae OOTH 9/11 MEMORIAL September 11, 2018 10:25 AM – Gather for the Memorial 10:28 AM – Moment of Silence 10:30 AM – Playing the Star-Spangled Banner EXHIBITOR LISTING As of 7/31/2018 Abdallah Candies 411 Jacques Torres Chocolate 806 Albanese Confectionery 312 Jelly Belly Candy Company 402 ALS Meltdown Party/Hope Loves Company 622 Kookaburra Licorice Company 813 Alternative Air LLC 101 Life of the Party 323 Asher’s Chocolates 302 Linnea’s Cake & Candy Supplies 211 Aspecialtybox 202 Lucas Candies 606 Barry Callebaut 521 Lucille’s Own Make Candies 308 Birnn Chocolate of Vermont 512 Madelaine Chocolate Company 502 Blommer Chocolate Company 611 Marshmallow MBA 102 Bonart Candy Company 114 MC Publishing Company 106 Burke Candy Inc. 201 Melville Candy Company 801 Buy-Vue Displays 212 Met Speed Label 207 Mid Atlantic Gourmet 510 CakeSafe 805 MOD-PAC Corporation 701 Cargil Cacoa & Chocolate 216 Munane Specialities Inc. 621 Casani Candy Company 301 Northeaast Speicality Foods 410 Celebrations Fun Foods 608 Penn Scale Mfg.
