ANTHONY THOMAS CANDY CO., INC. and NBC4i will be aiming to herd up $15,000 to benefit the Ronald McDonald House Charities! The Steer Show is still over a month away, but in the meantime, we will be collecting loose change and donations at each of our Anthony-Thomas Candy Stores. 100% of the money raised goes to the Ronald McDonald House Charities. Watch this link to learn more and remember to visit the Ohio State Fair on July 30th to watch me show a Black Limousine Steer! https://lnkd.in/g42iUcDe

Saddle up because I have been asked to be a team lead for the 2024 Dean's Press Charity Steer Show. Gabrielle Phifer and myself will be aiming to raise $15,000. Our team will compete alongside 4-H member Brandon, and we will be showing his steer, Limmy Jimmy! This year all proceeds benefit the Ronald McDonald House Charities who support families of seriously ill children. The event will be July 30th at the Ohio State Fair, but you can use the attached link to donate now. Hope to see you there!  https://lnkd.in/eTUCu53Z

Another year in the books! I had a great time representing ANTHONY THOMAS CANDY CO., INC. once again at the Annual Sweets and Snacks Expo 2024 in Indianapolis, IN. I always look forward to catching up with my customers and building new clients each year.

Every day at the chocolate factory is a good day! Thank you to 614 Media Group and their magazine publication for learning more about our world of candy and the guided tours. We are excited to start up walk-in tours this summer again. Hope to see you here!

Cocoa prices are at an all time high! This comes as no surprise as we are approaching a third consecutive year of shortages. Although many companies are considering regulating how much cocoa they will put in their candies, we will not be changing any of our recipes. I have linked two articles that help explain what is going on. https://lnkd.in/g6cQDPDK https://lnkd.in/g-vfXvhX

We are thrilled to be adding dozens of jobs and to be increasing our output by 35% over the next few years. Thank you to Columbus Business First for wanting to learn a little about our expansion. We are happy to be a part of the growth going on around Columbus. https://lnkd.in/etug3vNk
