Give Thanks and Be Grateful
Greetings to all,
Are your beautiful pumpkins sagging ? Yes...mine too. Oh well, it is times like these we need to remember the wise words of Dr. Seuss; “Don’t be sad that it’s over...Just be glad that it happened !” Before you know it, we will be celebrating the 15th FVT&D Annual Pumpkin Fest which is only 11 months away. Stay tuned throughout 2012 for details on what promises to be the biggest extravaganza yet.
Over the years, numerous participants of our Cucurbit Festivities have concluded that we should be selling the Orange Globes as opposed to raffling for charity. Our mission is “Promoting World Peace...One Pumpkin at a Time.” Admittedly, a lofty goal. However, can this plan be any worse than what has been tried already ? Furthermore, I believe something as important as “World Peace” cannot be bought, sold, or achieved by force. It can only be given freely and accepted with gratitude. Therefore, we would like to say “Thank you” one more time to each and every one of you who has contributed to our cause. Special Thanks goes to Scott & Brenda Stone of Tool Systems for providing a Home for our “Full Figured Lady in Orange” and to Brian Kellet of Machinery Systems for donating his winnings from accurately guessing her weight. We look forward to seeing all of you again next year, and pass the word to your friends. World Peace will require many willing participants to become a reality !
The end of year Holiday Season is also a time to reflect give “Thanks” to all of our customers, suppliers, and employees. FVT&D has completed another successful year in business, and it could not happen without you. We truly appreciate your business, support, and most of all your friendship.
From now until the new year we will be posting photos on this page of Fall time favorites. Carved Pumpkins and Big Bucks ! Send your pics to kerry@fvtd.com and then visit often. Lots of viewing will also eliminate the need for verbiage. So, on behalf of all of us at Fox Valley Tool & Die, we wish you a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year !
Count your Blessings.
Give Thanks.
Be Grateful.
Take care.
Pete Uvaas
President, Fox Valley Tool & Die, Inc.
