The flag has been a big part of my life for as long as I can remember. My father started Carrot-Top Industries in 1980, in the attic of our house in Chicago. I was born five years later, so in a sense, the business is part of my family, and I’ve known it all my life. Growing up, I remember putting labels on catalogs with my sister Darby, playing on the halyard spools in the warehouse and riding the Carrot-Top holiday float in the Hillsborough Parade.
That’s what the flag means to me: community. Parents, siblings, coworkers and customers all supporting each other as best we can. We are all working together to continue what started back in my parent’s attic, and I could not be more excited for the future.
