The Johnny Mercer bronze statue made it’s debut in Savannah in Ellis Square this week. Sculptor Susie Chisholm did a beautiful job! Ellis Square is still under a bit of construction – located next to City Market and next to the new Avia Hotel.

Chris Cree of Success CREEations came to the Savannah Ad Club to talk about Social Media on Wednesday, November 17th. Chris suggested to have a strong home base, known as your website with several outposts where the traffic is such as blogs and Twitter and Facebook. Online participation he considers as “social currency” like a bank account. You need to participate, have conversations, be helpful and then your dividends or interest pay off.

A recent open house at Angela Beasley’s Puppet People was super fun! Not only was there good food – there was cake by Mollie Stone! The Puppet People make the average party or corporate event spectacular! They happen to be my favorite small business in town.

The Paula Deen character was a hit at the Savannah Chamber Expo in September. The life size puppet designed by nationally recognized Puppet People even has a “butter” necklace – topped off with stick butter earrings. Low fat? I don’t think so.
