The secret is out!

Colleagues, Family and Friends,

Greetings! I wanted to take this opportunity to introduce a development that, Country Fair, along with several of our vendor partners, have been working diligently to assemble.

Just a few short weeks ago, in mid-June, Country Fair was asked by Maleno Construction to participate in a thrilling opportunity. We learned the ABC show Extreme Makeover: Home Edition would be gifting a new home to a local family and filming the process in our hometown of Erie, Pa. Maleno Construction, a local family business, has been contracted as the construction company handling the entire building process and all of the details surrounding the event. Country Fair was asked to support our community in a way we have never been asked to before. Country Fair will be the exclusive provider of our newest food service offering, Roaster’s Cup® Coffee. This coffee will be freshly brewed on site for the cast, crew and volunteers during this tremendous effort, 24-hours a day throughout the entire event. McCormick Coffee is working side-by-side with Country Fair to ensure a smooth brewing process and the freshest product. Country Fair will also supply nearly 6,000 bottles of their own label spring water which will be essential during the sizzling June building process.

Several of our vendor partners were quick to join Country Fair to support our community in this unique opportunity. McCormick Coffee, Smith Provision, Meadow Brook, Troyer Farms, Tripifoods, Perry’s, Krispy Kreme and Jerilu will all be present at the week-long event to volunteer their time and products in support of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Throughout the week-long event (June 25 - July 2), volunteer opportunities for Country Fair staff members may be available. If you are interested in volunteering your time, you can contact Steve Seymour in Human Resources at ext. 287.

We look forward to keeping you informed during this remarkable opportunity and ask that you share in the experience by following the process here on our blog where we will update regularly with photos, interviews, and information.

Thank you,
Shannon
