10-27-23 Cranbrook Chamber Business Excellence Awards 2023
I woke stupid early, chatted for a bit with the guy and then fell back asleep for two hours. That was a deep sleep that I could have stayed in for days. Unfortunately, the alarm went off…
I managed to get a great deal done, including picking up Mom’s pills before heading home to get on a dress and prettied up. I went back to the office and wrote my speech in case we won. Fisher Peak Performing Artist Society is up for Excellence in Arts, the first year it is being awarded. I felt strongly that the Community Theatre was going to win it.. and they did. I am happy for them. I did have a good speech though, lol. Rae-Anne got up to accept the award for FireHall Kitchen and Tap. She did a good job. It was exciting to see Aleatha win two awards for Ella’s, a Jamaican restaurant that they began just as Covid hit. Surviving that and even moving into a gorgeous new location, employing around 25 people in the community was rewarded as Business Person of the Year. She is a lovely human and I am so happy she got the recognition.
It was funny when Morchella Market won for new business, a category that Encore was in, and when the group went up, Blaire, the kitchen manager when Encore opened, was carrying one of their beer with her. It was clearly on purpose and a great shout out to her previous crew.
I am so looking forward to no alarm in the morning, must go see Mom and have a visit and do a few chores, deliver her pills etc before going into the office again until my dentist appointment.
