New Testimonial from Belvac Production Machinery, Inc.

Lynchburg, VA - Belvac Production Machinery, Inc. held its annual corporate holiday party on the evening of December 6, 2008 at the Craddock Terry Hotel in dowtown Lynchburg. Armistead Events was selected as Belvac's entertainment choice after interviews with several area DJs. When the president of the company was presented with the options for entertainment his reply was "Let's go with the fun guys."

Getting to the event was a small challenge due to a light seasonal snow fall and blocked traffic because of the Christmas parade being held on the downtown streets. Belvac provided shuttle services for employees attending the event. The presentation of service awards was the featured activity of the night with special gifts being given to the award recipients.

Trish Glover, Belvac's Corporate Administrative Coordinator, sent this email following the event.

"Thank you! You guys were awesome. I will recommend you to anyone who asks."
