Benjamin Berg, The Annie's owner along with Del Grande, was there, sneaking away every so often to check on the action at The Annie. "Everyone in this room has supported PaperCity through the years," said founder and editor in chief Holly Moore. "You are all part of the tapestry that has made PaperCity." PaperCity president Jim Kastleman joined in thanking guests and raising a glass to the magazine's continuing success.
