Savanah Cass (Guest Services) – Savanah is a very hard worker who goes the extra mile to keep the customer’s needs a priority. She is also a team player who goes beyond her department, willing to help wherever she is needed. She has an upbeat attitude which is very contagious to others. Savanah has taken on additional duties with enthusiasm since she began at The Fireside. She’s learned how to house manage the shows, greet the groups, and help behind the front desk during Friday Night Fish Fry. During the run of MY FAIR LADY, she learned how to use the computer to seat customers in the dining room for fish. Savanah has a great work ethic and is a joy to be around, making her a valuable associate deserving of this award.

Kathy Woodard (Costume Stitcher) – Kathy’s nomination stated that she “should be awarded Associate of the Show for MY FAIR LADY because the costumes would not be as wonderful without her.” Kathy would come in early as well as stay late to get the costume alterations done. She would take on very hard tasks that seemed impossible and they would turn out beautifully. It has not been only during MY FAIR LADY that she’s shown her dedication to the costume shop. She often offers to come in when she may not be needed to help put costumes back to their original state before sending them back to the costume rental company. This is a feat in its own! Not only is Kathy a very talented seamstress, she is a pleasure to work with and makes the costume shop a homey place. These among many other reasons show that Kathy is a deserving Associate of the Show. We would not have been able to put on MY FAIR LADY without her!
