In this our fifth annual edition of the Geauga Business Family Album, we are thrilled once again to bring you a fabulous selection of greetings representing a cross-section of successful companies in Geauga County. These personalized salutations extend to you greetings from local business-families as well as show off their people and personalities who proudly represent the hard work, ingenuity and creative talent pervasive throughout this great county. It is important to take time once each year and enjoy the camaraderie we all share. Remember each of these establishments when making purchasing decisions, as they are the lifeblood of this county. Take time to enjoy the crisp uniqueness of our holiday season, Geauga County!

The Geauga Business Family Album is an annual publication brought to you by the Fontanelle group inc. While gathering content for this magazine, we have met some of the finest folks, and we treasure the privilege of getting to know so many exemplary businesses owners, managers and hardworking staff. We have met a vast number and variety of manufacturing and service entities in the county which are to be commended for their products, employees, and service to our communities. FGi is truly thankful to each and every one of you for this experience. To book your holiday greeting and photo for 2019, contact us at 440‑834-8900 or email admin@fontanellegroup.com.

Thanks, I’ll never part with it.

HO, HO, HO!

Christmas stockings allegedly evolved from the tale of a poor man with three daughters who couldn’t afford the dowry to have them married. One night, St. Nicholas dropped a bag of gold down the man’s chimney so that his oldest daughter would be able to get married, and the bag fell into a stocking that was drying by the fire.
