“We are also grateful to Jay Freeman and his crew of cooks and helpers, including the Howard County 4-H Fair Queen and her court. What a great group of young ladies.

A customer for life

Beth Wilson, of Kokomo, sends this Cheer to Printcraft Press Inc.:

“In today’s economy we are always looking for the ‘best deal,’ but sometimes when we find the ‘best deal’ we may lose quality and/or service. Well, that is not the case in Kokomo when you need something printed.

“Printcraft Press Inc., located at the corner of Union and Vaile, is a one-stop shop for all your printing needs. Their quality and service is like no other, and, they have the best pricing. I have used them for several years now on both a professional and personal level for business cards to banners to balloons.

“It is a family-owned business and it is refreshing to see that they have survived with all of the economic ups and downs. They recently printed several different items for our church and the quality was awesome. After obtaining three different quotes, Printcraft Press still had the best pricing and they will work you on design and offer suggestions that you might not think of.

“Thank you to Dave and Kevin for awesome customer service, quality products, timely delivery, and great pricing. I will continue to use them and refer new business their way. I hope they are in Kokomo for years to come.”

Thanks for a beautiful downtown

F.C. Tucker/Tomlinson Inc. sends this Cheer to downtown work:

Dad’s legacy lives on

Amanda Thompson Kinney of Sharpsville sends this Cheer to those who helped with ride:

“I would like to thank everyone involved in the Matt Thompson Memorial Ride that was held on July 11. I realize in these tough economic times that everyone has tightened their belts.

“However, our community had proved once again how generous they truly are. I can’t thank enough the businesses and citizens that made monetary donations and supplied great door prizes.

“The generosity of Thom Shuck opening this home and organizing another great ride can never be repaid. The hospitality of the businesses where the stops were held was amazing also. I can’t begin to name all the people who gave up their Sunday to help us. I just hope they know how much we appreciate them and how much they mean to us.

“It’s encouraging to know the legacy of my dad lives on, and I take comfort that he’s protecting us still. Thanks again.”
