THE HAPPY CAAMPER SPOTLIGHT |
Meet Tony Sabo with AAkron!  My first job in the industry was with Coasterstone back in 2000. I wasn’t looking for a job, but a friend talked me into interviewing with them and who knew.... there’s an entire promotional products industry. 2. If you could learn to do anything new, what would it be? ...I’ve always wanted to play a musical instrument. Turns out I have NO talent whatsoever when it comes to music. 3. What is something about you (A fun fact) that many people do not know?In the last scene of the movie Eight Men Out I’m the daisy picker playing right field when the camera pans by for about 1/10th of a second. This might sound strange. I grew up 400 miles from my grandparents. Being with my grandfather when he passed meant more to me than anything in my life. 5. If you had to eat one meal every day for the rest of your life......what would it be?Meat and potatoes for me!

Meet Cindy Stroupe with Carolina Specialties! 1. At what capacity did you enter the industry and why? I entered the industry as a sales rep and that is where I have stayed! I love the people and the way ach day is always brand new. I am a classically trained ballerina and I quit dancing to have a baby. This was really just supposed to be a part time job, well, you see where I ended up- 31 years and counting!! And it has never truly been part time!!
I simply must have music playing during my workday- it seems my brain does not engage unless I am counting of time to music; and 5,6,7,8!
The birth of my oldest son, the birth of my youngest son, and the birth of my Grandson. Also, the first time I ever met my sales goal for the month!!!
