Nxtbook Barbershop Quartet + 2 Entertains Crowd…

Well, at least we felt like singing.

Nxtbook was stoked to be named the Central Pennsylvania Business of the Year at a gala event in Harrisburg this past week. This was our first time winning this one (heck, it might’ve been the first time we heard of it?), but it was a great event, nevertheless.

 The "official release" follows:

The Central Penn Business Journal honored 30 businesses and nine business leaders who
have made significant contributions to the growth, strength and success of the
Central Pennsylvania region during the sixth annual Business of the
Year Awards gala at Hilton Harrisburg on Monday,
November 9, 2009. Nxtbook Media is proud to announce that they were
named the winner in the Business of the Year (1-50 Employees) category.

The finalists and winners were selected by an independent
panel of judges consisting of: Dr. Edna V. Baehre, president of Harrisburg Area
Community College; Tom Baldrige of The Lancaster Chamber of Commerce &
Industry; Hank Christ of E.K. McConkey & Co., Inc.; Gordon Freireich with
the Newton Group; David Moore of D&E Communications, Inc.; and Nancy
Sacunas of Sacunas. Eligible companies were privately-held, for-profit entities
headquartered or with significant operations in Adams, Cumberland, Dauphin,
Lancaster, Lebanon, Perry and/or York counties. Winners were revealed at the
event in each of the six categories: Business of the Year (1-50 Employees),
Business of the Year (51-100 Employees), Business of the Year (101+ Employees),
Emerging Business of the Year, Executive of the Year and Corporate Citizen of
the Year.

“Rarely do the women and men behind this great game of
business get the recognition they deserve; recognition for being the backbone
of a community and this nation,” said David A. Schankweiler, CEO and publisher
of the Central Penn Business Journal and
event emcee. The crowd gathered to honor these individuals and companies for
creating jobs, making a difference to their customers and their communities,
and for propelling our region.

The Business of the Year Awards event is a program of the Central
Penn Business Journal and is presented by
Buchanan Ingersoll & Rooney PC. It is sponsored by Capital BlueCross,
