Castanet Vernon was one of two businesses to receive the Downtown Vernon Association Spirit Award. The other winning business was Good Gracious & Practical Kitchen.
The DVA held its first member social at Marten Brewpub where the awards were presented. Approximately 40 association members were in attendance and amongst them were the winners of the DVA Spirit Award for 2015.
“Nominations come in from the downtown business community and the letters are wonderful to read,” said Dina Mostat, member services co-ordinator. “When one business recognizes another for its contributions to the community and dedication to its customers over the past year, it means a lot and is something to strive for.”
Castanet Vernon and Good Gracious & Practical Kitchen were both nominated for setting the bar high in customer service and for taking every opportunity to be involved in the community.
“In the nomination letters words used to describe Castanet and Good Gracious were friendly, supportive, enthusiastic and helpful,” said Mostat. “I couldn’t agree more and we were thrilled to be able to give them the Downtown Vernon Spirit Awards.”
