Over the Fence! Good thing it does not say "Over the Hill!" You know, I have not posted anything on our blogs since way back at the start of our train station blog! It is about time you say? I agree too!
When we decided that "Over the Fence" would be a good name for our new blog, I thought that it would be an opportunity to just chat and just talk about things that are on our minds. You might do this with us if you lived right next to us and we would meet at the fence and just talk. I like that sort of format. It gives a neighborly feeling to the blog and I think that is important. We can chat about all sorts of things ya know!!
So to tell you about what has been happening lately, I need to explain this photograph shown above. Our business "PJB Design Consultants" was nominated this year (also in 2005) for "Small Business of the year award" for 2007 with the Lacombe and District Chamber of Commerce. We were honored to have this nomination for sure and were joined by two other businesses in this category this year. We did not receive the award this year which was a bit disappointing for sure, but that is the way it goes. Lorraine and I both felt that we made quite a contribution to the community this year with the construction of our "historical" train station, but it seems that may not have been enough even considering our other community involvements. This photo was taken on Friday night after the awards banquet in the new Lacombe Memorial Center. We are standing in front of the Donors wall.
It was fun to be there for sure and we had an excellent meal! I was even honored to be asked to say grace for the meal! Who knows, maybe next time we will be successful. Honestly, it is not that we want or need this recognition, it just seems nice to have your business recognized for the affect it may have had on the community.
Have an awesome week, and until next time, toodleloo. (is that a word?)
