Second Local Entrepreneur Picked for the Emmys
Mechanic Falls, ME – A second Central Maine mom has been called to the Emmys.
Shannon Bissonnette, founder of the Mechanic Falls-based Better Than Average LLC, Jams, Jellies and Sauces, has been asked to make 800 jars of her all-natural jam for the official gift bags of the 32nd annual News & Documentary Emmy Awards on Sept. 26.
Like Lewiston’s Sarah Dube Legare, whose EllieAnna Purse Co. has been tapped to make 800 fabric-covered notepads for the Emmy gift bags, Bissonnette got an email inquiry from the New Hampshire company that’s pulling together the gift bags. And like Legare — who happens to be a friend — Bissonnette didn’t believe it at first.
