We get by with a little help from our friends...


Last week each of us at Garman Homes got all dressed up for the 25th annual MAME Awards. Don't let the name fool you, MAME stands for Major Achievements in Marketing Excellence...we didn't (and wouldn't) attend a ceremony where they might give out awards for hurting people. Ironic name for marketing awards, no? I digress.

So we got all dressed up, piled into my swagger wagon and headed on over to North Ridge Country Club. We were really excited about the venue because one of our very favorite Garman homeowners (and very first buyer of our best-selling Edenton plan), Brian McEnteer, is the General Manager at NRCC. Brian & his wife, Mary are like Hall of Fame Garman Homes Rockstars. They're on our website. We adore them.

And the night lived up to all of our excitement and then some.

First...we got the best table in the house. The very back table right next to the bar. Our visibility was second to none. Key at awards ceremonies.

Second...we won! Build Like a Girl took home Best Blog by a builder.

Third...Brian made us feel like total Rock Stars. MAME is a cash bar event. So you can imagine how we were the envy of the room when after our win for Build Like a Girl we had a bottle of champagne sent to our table in celebration.

Such a great night...here's to all of you...here's the us...here's to many more nights like that!
