American Heart Association Booth / Fundraiser

[mountainmama74]

I need some ideas! I have a booth at an American Heart Association event. I need some heart healthy recipes, tips, product ideas, etc. Also, any sales from this event will be a fundraiser for the AHA - any ideas how to maximize this? This literally fell into my lap - a girl I went to HS with (many many moons ago) is the Director here in Morgantown, and she called me to see if I wanted to set something up at this event. FREE...

Help!
