Last week I was invited to a Columbus Blogging Event hosted by Ricart.
I was at first skeptical.
I mean who really reads my blog?
But, I decided to give it a whirl.
Because I was excited to meet fellow bloggers.
Especially fellow bloggers from Columbus.
Ricart was kind enough to host this event as they are looking to increase their social media presence.
So, I gave it a whirl. And had a lot of fun.
Lisa from Organize 365 presented to all of us on how to organize our cars.
We got a chance to meet our fellow bloggers and
we got to meet Rick Ricart!
Rick spent some time talking to us about the Ricart Company.
A company that I have been familiar with for years growing up in Columbus.
A company that I have been familiar with for years growing up in Columbus.
Rick is the 3rd generation of Ricarts to lead the company.
It is always amazing to learn more about a company from someone who has experienced it...
and worked in it since he was young.
Rick Ricart- along with his siblings- worked their way on up in the company from the bottom.
They gave us a tour of the facilities.
And we were even able to see the original Ford that started it all.
Ricart has been working on some changes within their company.
And I think that you will see it when you meet their employees....
and visit their facility.
It was a fun afternoon. I was able to connect with some fellow bloggers
and learned something new about a local company.
And I got to decorate and eat cupcakes.
Ricart was kind enough to provide us with some goodie bags and I wanted to share it with you.
So Columbus folks- get ready.

Congratulations! Sounds like you had a great time! :-)
ReplyDeleteI loved learning about the personal side of the business. The history, employee loyalty....what a great event.
ReplyDeleteIt was so great to meet you, Marci! I really hope I get a chance to run into you for future events/blogging conferences.
