Remember the old Reese's peanut butter cup commercials when two great tastes came together and made something even better? NAFA's Great Lakes and Tri-State Chapters hosted the Annual Fall Educational Seminar on October 7, 2015 in Perrysburg, Ohio. You might say these were also two great tastes that taste great together.

This was by far the highest turn out for this event with over 75 attendees. The events start with a social event including a networking reception and dinner as a group at Nagoya Japanese Steak House, which was filled with great conversations and new introductions.
