Black Tie Awards

Black Tie Awards

{Outside Crave ready for a night of fun}

Every year the Duncan Chamber of Commerce puts out  nomination forms for the public, through community sponsors, retailers and businesses in the Cowichan Valley.  And local business owners, volunteers and businesses are nominated for The Black Tie of Excellence Awards. Hundreds of nomination forms are filled out every year, and this year I was nominated for Young Entrepreneur of the Year!!! And then the Chamber picked me as one of the three finalists. And then I got invited to the Black Tie Awards Gala which is where I found out I was the WINNER!!!! Thanks to Masika Allen of Pretty Frilly Things for nominating me!

It was such an honor to just be nominated let alone win! The Gala was such a fun night and I had some of my favorite people with me. At my table were my Mum, step-dad Eric, Will, my amazing boyfriend Gary and my three beautiful and wonderful employees Rebecca, Ashta and Sarah! Crave would not be what it is today without all of the support of my amazing employees, family, and friends. And Crave really would not exist without Josh and Nadine Eror who have believed in me and my vision since it was just words on paper and thoughts in my head! I am  also very lucky to have the greatest customers any business could ask for, Crave would not have been able to grow to what it is today without the love and support of all of you!

Here are some of my favorite pictures of the night…
