Entrepreneur of the Year


Some months ago we (South Mountain Creamery) were nominated for Entrepreneur of the Year. We had a featured article in the May issue of Frederick Magazine, and then last night we attended the awards dinner in Frederick at Dutch's Daughter Restaurant.

In each category there were 3 nominees, we were in the "Large Emerging" category which simply is based on how long we have been in business and how many employees we have. A short 3 minute video was played about each company and then they announced the winner. Everyone in the room cheered when our name was announced, we were pretty excited too!

A newspaper reporter asked Tony how this award would change our business and Tony sortof laughed and said "it won't change anything I will still get up and go into work as usual."
