We win again!

    Well, Classic Care did it again. I am proud to say that we won the OLTCA/ORCA best exhibitor award again. I believe it is the 4th time in 5 years. We thank all of you who visited our exhibit and voted for us.
    As always the competition was fierce and I began wondering how should one celebrate such an auspicious occasion. What do other famous repeat winners do? So began my journey into award winners and celebrations. Then I found it. A comparable award. An award coveted by many North American cities and an award celebrated annually.
  "The Most Colourful Award" this award celebrates the city with the most colourful squirrels. Black, Grey, Brown and yes White! The same squirrels that damage our homes and inevitably splatter our roads.
   The cities who compete for this award include: Olney Tennessee, Marionville Missouri, Brevard NC, and Exeter Ontario. The winner is our own Exeter.
    Exeter Ontario, a city which Classic Care services, a city with a population of about 5000, a city which not only claims to have the most colourful squirrels but is possibly the most northern city in the world with white squirrels. So how does Exeter celebrate this wonderful recognition?
-They have a mascot, White Wonder, who leads the annual White Squirrel Festival.
-They have made up a song and video to celebrate this wonderful achievement. See below.
-They have little white squirrels on their lamp posts.
-They have squirrel profiles on garbage cans.
-They have iron cut-outs in a variety of squirrel poses up and down the main strip.
   Exeter knows how to celebrate. Thank you Exeter you have taught us much. The always colourful Classic
Care will attempt to emulate you. Pill mascots, Pill garbage cans, Pill lamp posts and maybe even Pill cut-outs.
We will start with the Classic Care Video. See below as well.
