Thank you Joy TV!

This year Syd from Joy TV showed up to the DSA office with a pretty little potted Christmas tree and a challenge. Decorate “Joy” the tree then send in a picture; the winner gets to go to Don Francesco’s.

Well you never come into DSA Media with a fun challenge like that and expect nothing less than total over-delivery! Everyone participated with theme ideas and decorating help. From the team grew a Winter Wonderland full of penguins, reindeer, and polar bear. Yes just one bear but he was the only one who could make it to the South Pole to party with the penguins (he hitched a ride with the flying reindeer but they could only carry one, Polar Bears are big you know).

And here is the grand reveal:

DSA Xmas Tree

We are happy to announce that all the hard work paid off and DSA was named the winner out of all 6 media departments that participated. As special thanks to Kristina who built the mountains and Mary who made our little friends on the tree. If you want to see our competition you can visit the Joy TV website.
