The 1Team 1Dream Board of Directors thanks all participants in the Hands Up Lake County, 2021, small business mini-competition.

From a group of 17 small business hopefuls, there are now only five (5) and one alternate to advance to the final competition on December 12.

Congratulations to the following:

• Bottle Rock Candle Studio, Jennifer Marie Gayda, Cobb
• Party Ideas, Anahi Maria Silva, Clearlake
• Reese Ranch Retreat, Catherine Ann Reese, Witter Springs
• Send Rover on Over, Doggie Daycare, Training, Boarding & Grooming, Valeri Ann Stallings, Lakeport
• Wild Hope Bakery, Ashley Ruth Garrigus, Middletown
• Red Feather Leather, Brianna Elisabeth Thomas, Lakeport – Alternate

The 1Team 1Dream Board of Directors hope all participants benefited from the business planning workshop, the additional branding support provided by Straits Creative, the media exposure for your businesses throughout the process – and hopefully beyond – the experience gained from the competition and an expanded network of like-minded entrepreneurs and small business owners.

The competition last Saturday wouldn’t be possible without the 1Team 1Dream Board volunteers and Founder, The Lodge at Blue Lakes owner, Maryann Schmid.

The final competition, on December 12, will be live-streamed. There will be an opportunity to vote for the “fan favorite” on 1Team 1Dream Facebook page. There is also a prize associated with this aspect of the competition.

Support your fellow competitors by voting for one of the finalists!
