BLACKCAP Client wins Retailer of the YEAR..

So early in 2008 we did a few cool little pieces for promotional purposes for a small farmers market, Woodstock Farmers' Market, based in Vermont. Nice woodblock print counter card, 2 sided piece with hand crafted letters along with a few in store posters and a few promo t-shirts. Also did a banner for the budding mail order business. We'll most likely be doing a few things in the future for them (fingers crossed..). Anyways-I get an email from the owner this afternoon:

"FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: The Woodstock Farmers’ Market has been selected Retailer of the Year by the National Association of Specialty Food Trade, a major trade association of the food industry."

SAY WHAT??

It continues:

"The award, a gold chef’s statue, will be presented in New York City at a special ceremony June 29th hosted by noted Chef Ming Tsai, owner of Blue Ginger, the much-honored Boston area restaurant. Nominations for Outstanding Specialty Food Retailer were made by members of NASFT, a not-for-profit trade association with more than 3,000 members in the U.S. and abroad. Retailers with the most nominations were asked to submit applications including photographs, promotional material, press kits, menus, letters from customers, training manuals and newsletters. The judges, including previous Outstanding Retailer winners, food manufacturers, distributors and journalists met at NAFST offices in New York to select the winners."

Wow-all we can say is #1: We're stunned. That we might have contributed just a little something to edge them over the top of the competition is amazing. #2 our hats sincerely go off to Woodstock Farmers' Market, SUPER NICE GUY Owner Patrick Crowl, and the rest of the staff. What an honor. Congratulations are in order for sure. Indeed-it must have been the counter cards..

So the next time you numbskulls are up in Vermont, GIT the heck on down to Woodstock Farmers' Market, order a grinder and tell 'em BLACKCAP SENT YA. You won't be disappointed, WE GA-RUN-TEE.
