Best of State
Congratulations to two American Fork businesses who were named medal winners in the 2008 Utah Best of State awards.
The Music School, already known to readers of my blog for its internationally acclaimed Crescent Super Band, offers individual and group instruction, master classes, recitals, recording, and performing and touring opportunities in classical, rock, jazz, and world music styles. For its insistence on excellence in both music education and business leadership, The Music School was also named top in the arts and entertainment category, receiving the coveted BOSS (Best of State Statue).
Shade Clothing, headquartered at 50 North Center Street (in the building formerly occupied by the Music School), is a leading innovator of hip, modest layered clothing -- clothing which, according to its mission statement, helps women "feel comfortable and happy." Launched from a basement in September 2004, Shade has expanded its retail operations to include an active home party business and four retail locations throughout the state, and was ranked as one of the Emerging Elite companies by Utah Business Magazine (December 2007).
The Best of State awards were created to recognize outstanding individuals, organizations and businesses in Utah who excel in their endeavors, use innovative approaches or methods, and contribute to a better quality of life in Utah.
Governor Huntsman said of this program, "Many prominent national and international organizations and outstanding people renowned for their ingenuity, innovation and aptitude are located right here within the borders of Utah. . . . Best of State recognizes those who are excelling and surpassing all else and who are the best of the best in their respective fields. . . .We are proud of the many accomplishments of our fellow Utahns."
My thanks to these two fine businesses for linking American Fork with the concept of excellence.
