This past Tuesday, May 6, we celebrated the two-year anniversary of the existence of our Encore blog (a “blogiversary”, if you will). When I say we celebrated, I mean that we did so in style – cake, fizzy drinks, the works! We even awarded a prize for most blog posts written, which went to the lovely Sabrina Denault, our Northeast Regional Director. We acknowledged her impressive ability to hash out a ton of blog posts alongside doing her many other duties as Regional Director, and thanked her for her contributions, by presenting her with “Bobby Blog”, a smiley-faced, crazy-haired stress ball that is there to aid her in her next year of work, until it’s passed down to next year’s blogiversary winner. Check out the photos below! Happy 2nd Blogiversary, us! The post Happy Blogiversary! appeared first on Backstage at Encore Tours.
