Exciting Day!

So today we mulled over an RFP that we may or may not want to send. We essentially made a rough draft of what we wanted to send and decided to sit on it for a couple of days to see if it felt right to continue on with this event. Today I learned that Cleveland is a small town in regards to business. Even if someone messes with you or wrongs you, you have to be very careful about your actions because it could have some serious consequences for your business if you get on the wrong side of someone. After that we went to Root Candle in Medina for a personal tour from the CEO. It was just fantastic. He was so nice and accommodating. I learned a lot about their history and that their founder, A.I. Root, was the first person to write an account of the Wright Brother's first flight at Kitty Hawk and that this account is currently at the Smithsonian. A lot of their production is done by hand and the CEO knew a majority of his workers, which is very rare in this day in age of mass machinery production. Root Candle was generous enough to donate an enormous ton of candles for a Hopewell event in September. I am very thankful I was able to find this new business and make new connections!
