T his month things are heating up and we could not be happier about it. We are excited for our second annual “Top 10 Music Festival of Summer” list. This year we have some new events and some returning favorites from the editorial team for 2017. Check it out and see if your favorite festival made our list, then make sure that you have your tickets. In this issue we spoke with Brian Widahl as chainsaw sculptor “carver” and the owner of Widahl Woodcraft in Cochrane, Alberta. You will get to understand that when you see a fresh log of wood anchored in the bed of his truck it means someone’s vision is about to become a reality. It is also very possible that you might even be one of the thousands of proud owners of one of Brian’s hand-sculpted artworks – as the patrons for this small family-run business are widespread across North America. Tim Clattenburg, the owner of East Coast Panelized Wall Systems in Liverpool, Nova Scotia spoke with Spotlight on Business in May and it didn’t take long to learn that he understands a thing or two about innovation in construction, having over 27 years in the industry. Learn how East Coast PanelizedWall Systems combine time-tested building methods with modern technology and innovation that delivers customizable, energy efficient, beautiful new homes and structures all while saving the customer money and time. With warmer weather, most of us have been out detailing our cars and trucks getting them all shined up in the driveway, then standing back to snap the oblig- atory social media photo, and there, staring right back at you are those boldly out-of-place rusty brake calipers peeking out from behind the wheel rims. Not the shining image you want on social media when showing off your ride. This month we spoke with MGP Caliper Covers owner, Mike Barland and Marketing Director, Asher Stefani about the company and their unique products to solve your problem.
When a business venture is driven by pure passion, the excitement it creates can ooze off the webpage and onto your plate. Literally. Such is the case with Tastingtheheat.com, a website dedicated to lovers of hot sauces, salsas and just about anything that will make your taste buds stand up and sing! Kendall Stadler, a retired rock and roll musician out of St. Clair, Michigan teamed up with his wife Tracy and decided to let their passion for hot sauce guide them into their future and on the road in search of the best hot sauces and spicy foods from around the world. We hope you enjoy the issue and we would like to thank all those involved in putting this month’s issue together along with our readers as we look forward to telling more stories about successful businesses and the people behind the scenes making it happen.
