Especially when they are run by a 11 year old named Kami who brings you farm fresh eggs every week!
Designed this so she could put stickers on the egg cartons she delivers.

Representative
This is truly a first. Never have I been able to say that a candidate for a political office truly represented me as a constituent. Now, don't misread that...not reflected as in agreement in every facet...represented as in I know who the public servant is as a person, and they know me as such.
Four years ago when we purchased our home in Bonners Ferry we needed some electrical work done. We realized that we needed professional help after I cut into a live 220 line (sparks, a cloud of smoke, smell of burning chest hair, a singed pair of wire cutters and a understandably frightened wife).
As an electrician, Sage Dixon's reputation for quality of work, commitment, and communication preceded him and he proved those qualities in person.
Over the years our relationship has developed from contractor, to client (of Smalltown Design), to friend.
In a political arena some may say that because Sage is a friend and a client that my opinion of him would be biased...common sense says, it means I know him.
Sage is the Republican candidate for the Idaho House, District 1-B (covers most of Boundary and Bonner counties). This week Sage and his wife Veronica have a booth at the Bonner County Fair, stop by and get to know them first hand.
In November of this year, in the General Election, consider voting for Sage.
Personally, as a man of faith, a husband, a father, an employee, a business owner, living in North Idaho, I will be voting for Sage. Because Sage personally understands, and will represent me in every one of those roles.

Real Deal
Friend and client, Wade Brooks, is donating a 1st print of his image "Two Amigos" to a charity rodeo event in Grandview, WA. The event, Makin' 8 for Prostrate, is a fundraiser for cancer research. 3W Bucking Bulls is supplying the bulls, so if you are in the neighborhood stop by the Grandview Fairgrounds, September 13th @ 7PM and bid on Wade's print!
Wade, always looking to be professional, wanted a Certificate of Authenticity for the art piece. So Smalltown made up a simple certificate to be signed and notarized, adding value to the auction item and hopefully raising more money for the cause.
Check out more of Wade's work at wadebrooksphotography.com.

Small Town Family Fun!
Kyle Watt's and the crew from Woody's Gun & Pawn are sponsoring the Smash & Bash 2014 Demolition Derby. Smalltown was privileged to create Woody's logo earlier this year so we threw together a poster/FB page for this event.
Woody's brings a family environment to their business and will look to do the same for this "fun for the family" event.

Multi-Media Business Card
Took more than a year to identify a cost-effective option for a new spin on business cards - finally found it! Flashbay is a great option for customized business card flash drives. Pricing for limited runs, with custom full color designs (no set up fees and they COLOR MATCH!) is on par with what overseas venders are charging for large quantity runs.
Specifically, the Wafer/Alloy product makes for a striking business card - full color/2 sided logo on a 2GB flash drive that can hold all of your company information (product catalogs/manuals/images/contact info). These cards do not replace the traditional business cards that you hand out by the hundreds, but are an impressive option for specific potential clients and presentations.
They are also an option for churches wanting to distribute sermon series (examples above from Mountain Springs Church, Bonners Ferry, Idaho). Faster production, less-expensive, and more content options than CD sets.

Opportunity to Pitch In
Ok...so I have no idea if they use pitch on roofs in Ensenada, MX...come to think of it I have no idea what pitch actually is and what it is used for...other than a bad pun!
Smalltown friends Mike & Heidi VanDyken, of Casa Blanca Retreat Center (Ensenada, MX), have a building project coming up and are looking for some help.
If you are looking for a something more valuable than a simple vacation; a time away that includes helping others and leaving a lasting presence, not to mention developing lasting relationships, check out the project Casa Blanca has slated for September, 2014.
Project Details - 3 Ways to Get Involved
Casa Blanca hosts groups doing missionary work in the Ensenada/La Bufadora area of Mexico. They also are personally involved weekly serving at local orphanages and women's shelters. They are also really great people.
