Good News, Bad News
First the Bad News. Our long anticipated Atlantic Bakery EXPO is obviously not going to happen this year.
The Good News is that we have a new date,
April 25 - 26, 20121,
and it is going to be grander than ever.
The New York State Board, along with its co-sponsors in New Jersey are diligently taking this time to enhance the plans for an exciting show next year when life will be at a new normal and new products will be ready to be unveiled and distributed . So while we anxiously await the 2021 show, let's just take a little time ( you do have a little time, do you not) and join together for a brief walk down Memory Lane to the last EXPO when:
Registration was efficiently processing our guests.
Vendors were busily creating their displays and awaiting the thousands of people soon to be flowing through the doors.
And Workshops were delivering top notch Educational programs.
The Demo Theatre was up and running with world class instructors.
Floor Demonstrations enchanted participants with hands on presentations.
And finally, Vendors greeted guests with a great variety of products and services.
T
hen we were all treated to the jaw-dropping talents displayed by our contestants.
All and all, Great Memories at a Great Show.
________________________________________________________________________________________
We will be back.
We will have demonstrations, educational classes, and vendors from around the globe.
We will be thrilled to see old friends and create new ones.
We will anxiously await April 25 - 26, 2021.

It didn't take long for "Al" (his new American name) to secure a job with the help of his aunt's boss Joe Hept who was an active union member. His first job was working at Tina's Bakery in Jackson Heights. Of course, not speaking English he was taken advantage of and worked fifteen hours a day (11 pm -2 pm) earning only $45 for six day per week. He began to question his decision about leaving Germany where his workdays were only eight hours (4 am - 12 pm) and worked a half day on Saturday and off every Sunday. Exhausted and feeling very discouraged after six months, Joe Hept helped him get a job at a union bakery in Flushing where he worked for a year and a half.
