I would like to express my sincere appreciation to Ms. Sheri Patton of American Family Insurance for allowing me to set up my booth in front of her agency during the Fountain Hills Arts and Crafts show Nov 14-16.

Fountain Hills was my home for 15 years, and going back to see friends I have known, and customers I met while I sold pizzelles outside Target, is a wonderful time for me, and brings back such fond memories.

Ms. Sheri makes it possible for me to continue being a part of the Fountain Hills community. When successful businesses like Sheri’s supports new, smaller businesses like Pizzelle Pastries, it encourages us, and helps us grow so that we can “pay it forward” and help other small businesses.

I received in the mail today my 2015 Fountain Hills Business License Renewal application. I will gladly, and proudly, complete the form and send in my payment. I will continue to support Fountain Hills in my small way because I believe in what Fountain Hills stands for and the good it does for its residents.

I hope to see my old and new friends at Stroll in the Glow this Saturday -- with my little purple booth set up in front of American Family Insurance. I will be there with freshly-made pizzelles, and a huge smile -- delighted to be back in lovely Fountain Hills!
