Sweepstakes Winner, the Food Network and more great coverage

Congratulations to Chrissy S. of Waterloo, NY, the winner of the Cooperstown Cookie Company’s first-ever Ultimate Cooperstown Baseball Weekend Sweepstakes. It was delightful to talk with Chrissy, and to give her the good news. She’ll be coming with a guest to Cooperstown, be treated to a luxury two-night stay, delicious meals, gifts from select Cooperstown retailers, invites to the World Series Gala at the National Baseball Hall of Fame, a behind the scenes tour of the Hall, and more.

Thanks to all of you who entered. We had hundreds and hundreds of entries, from 48 of 50 states. Remember, everyone can enjoy the taste of Cooperstown with a gift from the Cooperstown Cookie Company.

Did you happen to catch the Cooperstown Cookie Company on the Food Network’s Unwrapped on Labor Day? We were busy with orders thanks to that show. People just love our baseball cookies!

And, the Cooperstown Cookie Company was featured in DiversityinBusiness.com. It was great talking with Dan Perkins.

Cooperstown on Induction Day

Today, all baseball looks to the little village of Cooperstown, as Goose Gossage and other baseball greats are officially inducted to the National Baseball Hall of Fame. It’s exciting to have so many people who love baseball come to Cooperstown. We’ve been vending on Main Street, talking to fans from all over the country. It’s a happy group of people, and we’ve seen more than a few Hall of Famers strolling the streets as well.

We’re hoping for good weather for this afternoon.

Remember, you can always enjoy the taste of Cooperstown by ordering baseball cookies from the Cooperstown Cookie Company.

Best,

Pati

Hello world!

Hello. Here I go jumping in with my first post. I’m Pati, and keep very busy with the company I started a few years ago, the Cooperstown Cookie Company. We make delicious shortbread cookies in the shape of baseballs. My simple idea, baseball cookies from baseball’s hometown (Cooperstown, NY), has taken off. We’ve had great press, on the Food Network’s Unwrapped, Rachael Ray picked us as the “Snack of the Day” (on July 4^th no less—the perfect day for cookies that celebrate the national pastime).

With this blog, I will talk about baking, celebrations, event planning, food shows as well as baseball and life in Cooperstown, NY. I also look forward to connecting to Cooperstown Cookie Company customers, and giving you updates about our business.

We have partnered with the National Baseball Hall of Fame to create a new line of baseball gifts, Baseball…Anyone Can Play. I’m really proud of this project, which features the artwork of Lonni Sue Johnson. All profits from Baseball…Anyone Can Play benefit Pathfinder Village. A special part of our business is our commitment to doing good as we do well, so I’ll also be telling you about our work with Pathfinder Village, a residential community for children and adults with Down syndrome, and Human Technologies Corporation, the nonprofit organization that packages and mails our cookie tin orders. Human Technologies Corporation is a company of diverse businesses committed to enhancing the quality of life for people with disabilities and others who have barriers to employment.

I welcome your comments and posts.
