THE BIG E
A HUGE THANK YOU to all our friends at THE BIG E!!!!!  What a fantastic year as Celtic Heritage Productions (CHP) celebrated its seventh consecutive annual appearance at this GREAT fair.  Special thanks to our friends at Collins who keep us well fed, energized and encouraged during this long event.  CHP introduced two new lines of shirts at this year's fair and both were a MAJOR HIT!  Our thanks go out to Pat of Shamrock Nation and Mark of Wild Ravens for being the finest first year suppliers of QUALITY merchandise in our history.  Both these guys and their companies went above and beyond the call of duty to keep us supplied with their QUALITY shirts at very short notice.  Thanks to THE BIG E STAFF who make this all possible and a special thanks to Brenda who kept the Young Building in GREAT shape, Sean who kept us secure, Ray & Patty who ran a tight ship and of course the administrative staff for all they do and put up with.  See you in 2010!!

  Thinking ahead to Christmas? ... Special Deals on CDs Continue
This month, Celtic Heritage Productions, Inc. celebrates its ninth anniversary.  December will mark the ninth anniversary of our first release, "The Celtic Ray."  Back then, the release price was $15.  In 2008, Marcille released her eighth CD, "A Mighty Fortress."  Its release price?  The same $15.  Over the years, you've seen prices of food and fuel -- and all aspects of the cost of everyday living -- go up.  Our production costs have been creeping up as well, but we have steadfastly maintained our basic pricing -- and in fact, if you have visited our booth at fairs or festivals, you know that we offer CD's -- in any combinations of titles -- at multiple-purchase discounts that beat even the "big box" stores.

We appreciate your support over these last nine years, so we continue to offer even deeper discounts to you.  In addition to our regular multiple-purchase discounts, we offer a big price break for orders of 10 or more CD's ... an even bigger break for orders over 20 ... and our best deal for orders totaling 50 or more.  Give us a call, and we'll put together a sweet package!
