ACEnet Caravan Brings Tasty Treats to Hampton Inn!
Did you try the ghost pepper salsa? That was just one of the many options available during the ACENet Caravan event on Friday afternoon.
Chips and salsa, bread and jam, greens and a variety of dressings, tea and pastries, were available for the employees of the Hampton Inn to enjoy as the winners of the first ACENet Caravan contest held in conjunction with the Appalachian Center for Economic Networks and The Messenger to celebrate ACEnet's 30th anniversary.
Items for the caravan were provided by Crumbs Bakery, Herbal Sage Tea, Laurel Valley Creamery, Bangbough Pretzels, Vino de Milo, Green Edge Gardens, Shagbark Seed and Mill, Cherry Orchards, JB Best and Casa Nueva.
The caravan is sponsored by the Ohio University Credit Union, Kroger and O'Nail Hartman Insurance.
"I'm really happy we could provide the opportunity for the employees of Hampton Inn to take a break and sample some food," said Eva Bloom of Ohio University Credit Union. "This also allows us to show support for the community and other businesses."
The event will continue to be held quarterly throughout the year, with the next contest to take place in June. Information will be posted on The Messenger website when the contest starts for individuals to register their place of employment to win a visit from the caravan.
