Today was the day we have been waiting for... for a very long time! It was the official "Ribbon Cutting" ceremony, open house, and luncheon.
Dan had Kenna help him get his office unpacked on Tuesday. There is still some decorating to do... but he can get work done!
Dan the man... ready for the event!
These are what the bailer spits out... they are HUGE!!!!!! After metal is bailed it is shipped to a mill to be melted down and turned into something else... like a new can of Diet Dr. Pepper.
All of the major news channels came... so I will be recording them tonight. This is Mark Bond speaking at the event and sharing some of the history of the company and his thoughts on where it is headed now.
The "Ribbon Cutting"... it was a thick piece of copper wire and they cut it with a mini shear...
It was an awesome idea... very clever!
Spencer Eccles was the main speaker... he was just named to head the Governor's Office of Economic Development.
Kimi Barnett from Mayor Peter Corroon's office...
The Metro Executive Board... Jim Bond (VP) , Mark Bond (President & CEO), Bill Worsley (Accountant), Dan Floyd (VP of Operations), J.D. Mair (VP of Sales), and Chris Bond (VP of Purchasing). What a great group of men Dan has the privilege of working with every day.
And this is who they REALLY are.... they know how to work hard, but they play just as hard!
I am so glad this day is finally here... and I am so proud of what Dan has accomplished! Now ready to open for business on Monday! Save your cans and recycle people!!!!! (You can even bring them to our house if you want to.)

Congratulations! I bet Dan is a happy camper (and probably wishing he could be out doing just that this summer...in the wild outdoors). It is always nice to have a big project completed and have it turn out so well.
