More than 32 years ago, I was given the choice to take a job with a public relations firm specializing in the seafood industry or come to work at the Mt. Washington Valley Chamber as PR/marketing manager. I asked myself, “Which would I rather fill my days with: fish or fun?” I chose fun and have been grateful for the chance to work in the valley from that day forward.
When I started working with the chamber in 1989, the Carroll Reed Shop and Yield House were the largest stores in town, and Settlers Green was the new kid on the block. We spent our days designing brochures and introduced a new concept — the 800 phone number. We created bumper stickers and radio songs to brand the valley. Elaborate press kits were sent by mail, and the most requested photo format was slides.
