We did come and enjoy the music, food, people and the festival this weekend. It was awesome! The music was great, food was incredible and we left with a fistful of information and a gratifying feeling about being part of something good.
As I walked around the lower bowl of the festival the most wonderful scent caught my attention and lead me to the Rocky Mountain Soap booth where I met co-owner and manager Kazuyo Iga.
Franchise opportunity
Kazuyo worked in the Banff location for four years when in November of 2007 her and husband Scott decided to open the franchise at Mayfair mall in Victoria. This is their second year as exhibitors at the festival and say they are seeing although there seems to be less foot traffic to the booth than last year, they’re happy to hear that many people already know them and are seeking the out.
Kazuyo echoed what I have been hearing from many other exhibitors, that most of their customers are much more knowledgeable about the products and their value.
Rocky Mountain Soap uses only 100% natural ingredients, the finest essential oils, real grains, berries, and other sources that Mother Nature provides. They offer a wide variety of soaps and bath products including Pumpkin Patch products designed specifically for eczema relief.
Free samples and redemption
Kazuyo was kind enough to send me off with a paper bag full of samples that my wife would have loved. But alas, I have to confess that in my travels from booth-to-booth I must have left it somewhere. Aack – my wife was so disappointed. Guess I’ll have to head down to Mayfair to redeem myself.
>> July 8 update: Scott (aka @FootButterGuy on Twitter) heard about my mishap and was kind enough to offer to replace my forgotten treasures. I swung by the store at Mayfair yesterday and sure enough there next to the til was a bag of Rocky Mountain Soap products waiting with my name on it. Thank you. Wife = happy. Me = redeemed.

Hey Chris, thanks for taking the time to drop by and see us at the festival. Glad you enjoyed the scents wafting through the Village. The Organic Islands Festival has to be the best run, most efficiently run operation out there. Everything was planned and executed expertly. We really appreciated that and the hard work of all the volunteers. Job well done!
I hope someone found your goodie bag and is enjoying the samples! We’ve got a replacement bag of goodies at the store at Mayfair.
Thanks for the kind review. It was great to meet so many like-minded people this past weekend.
