Ever sailed in Plattsburgh, New York's annual Mayor's Cup? Me neither, but four loyal members of our crew did spend this past Saturday spreading the good word about ShipStore.com to the families attending the sailing regatta and festivities in downtown Plattsburgh.

Our new Warehouse & Inventory Clerk, Brian Lafountain, spent the last couple of weeks planning a vendor's booth to display and sell Sevylor water sports merchandise. When I arrived on Saturday to check in and see how everything was going, I was amazed with the booth they had set up, a tented showroom stock full of ski tubes, pool toys and all sorts of enticing summer inflatables. In addition to "Warehouse Brian", ShipStore.com's general manager Brian Olson and customer service representatives Debra Bridge and Carol Smith were assiting customers, decked out in our snazzy, new ShipStore.com t-shirts.

In addition to retailing cool Sevylor merchandise and dispensing the latest Sevylor catalog, they were introducing new customers to one of the oldest (and obviously the best!) online marine supplies retailers... With full line catalogs, Beacon newsletter signups, and plenty of enthusiasm, Brian, Brian, Deb and Carol went the extra mile! Thanks crew, and congratulations, Brian Lafountain on a stunning success.
