As we get into the final days of 2016, we here at Tent and Table just wanted to take a moment to reflect on the past year. As a company it's been a great year with continued growth in customers, innovation and markets, but it's also been one filled with tragedy, uncertainty about the future and the loss of some gifted and talented people. Before we take time to celebrate the holidays with out loved ones and friends, we would like to share some happy moments and memories from the past year as a reminder that there are still plenty of good things that happen in this world.
Here are some things that our Tent and Table team members are happy and/or thankful for in 2016.

"2016 was a very good year for me and my family. I feel so blessed. We bought a house, my wife got a promotion and is now the Dean of Students at UB Law School, my eldest son enlisted in the Navy and qualified for an aviation Engineer job, my younger son made honor roll his first semester of high school. Finally, my daughter earned 5 parts in the Nutcracker and performed beautifully for thousands of people at UB." - Kevin Clor, Director of Operations

"I would just like to thank all my customers and team members for all their hard work and patronage, without all of them 2016 would not have been such a success! On a more personal note I am reminded every day that it takes a village to raise a family and this industry has such a great village of people who make up a family and great groups like the EPA (Event Professionals Alliance) whom are always so willing to step up with advice and many other ways to help others in the industry to succeed, because of this I am proud to be a part of this industry. Sharing knowledge is power and motivational. Thank you all let's have a BOUNCING GOOD 2017 TOGETHER!" - Christina Hyna, Sales Rep
To all of our friends and customer Tent and Table would like to wish you the happiest of holidays, Merry Christmas a joyous and prosperous New Year.
