Chair-ity chair and pie baker presented to Park Board

Joe Geisse, Liz (Wells) McIlvain, Karen and Tim Cunningham.

The newspaper was in to take promotional shots for the event and

"CHAIRY" (as we've grown close to & named our chair) and little

Miss Pie Baker is gone!

Sadder news, the Park Board will NOT be taking absentee bids.

They already made this announcement for the Lou Loltz (signed)

bean bag chair. Soooooooo peeps, I'm open to ideas.

I have never been part of an auction before but I know they

can get hairry....LOL

No scary hairry CHAIRity auction for me!

All silliness aside, if anyone from afar wins and will be attending this

year's conference, we (design department) will secure the chair

under lock and key until then for pick up.

Cool?

Chester CHAIR-ity Auction

Recently the Design Department was invited to participate in the Chester CHAIR-ity Auction. We were asked to make a chair for the special fund raising auction.

WOW!

Buck and Gary scoured the factory for an old chair. They found a chair at least 50 years old! If only chairs could talk! They brought it to the modeling shop where Joey, John and Frank put their cleaning, wire brushing and building skills to work. Joey used modeling shop wire to build a shelf to hold a ONE of a kind Fiesta piece!

Tim and Karen Cunningham jumped right in to this project. Karen designed the art for the Fiesta pie baker using all Fiesta colors, including our new lemongrass!

They took the chair home, painted the metal part lemongrass. Karen tore apart an old Fiesta fabric cushion that was in the art department for years, washed it and designed the new cushions. John cut the tops from Fiesta salt shakers for the back buttons.

They all did a fabulous job!

This chair is hand signed (under the seat) by everyone in the Design Department.

It will also be signed by the owners of the company.

It includes;
