Post Office Customer of the Year 2008

The Phoenicia Post Office has crowned a new "Customer of the Year" for 2008. Elizabeth Holland Kern look positively regal as she accepted the honor. Last years recepient, Dave Pillard, crowned the new winner this morning in a short ceremony. The festivities went smoothly until Elizabeth tried to leave with the crown. A short tug of war ensued when Dave seemed unable to part with the festive head gear. But, in the end, Dave dried his tears and graciously passed the title along. Thanks to Ken at the Phoenicia Post Office for giving us all another chance for some fun!


















Don't worry Dave, to all of us who know and love you, you are still "Man of the Year" (with or without a crown)!!

Phoenicia Post Office - Customer of the Year

The lovely and talented Dave Pillard (ladies man, man's man, man about town) has been crowned (Dave insisted on there being a crown involved) "Customer of the Year" by Ken Roffe, Postmaster at the Phoenicia post office. Dave was "Customer of the Month" back in August and defeated the other 11 customers of the month to win the coveted "Customer of the Year" title. His victory was a resounding one with a whopping 16 votes. (Yes, Phoenicia is just slightly bigger than Petticoat Junction). Dave won lunch with Ken (the conversation topics were not just limited to postage) at the Sportsman, USPS Star Wars matted prints and Star Wars first day cancelations. His photo is also prominently displayed in the post office without ever having committed a crime (No folks, looking fabulous is NOT a crime). Dave is thrilled with his victory but remains humble. Although, he will sign autographs if asked at his place of business, the Tenderland Home. Thanks to Ken Roffe for thinking up this fun contest to entertain and honor the customers of the Phoenicia post office. Can't wait to see who is the next customer of the month!
