On July 17, 2010, the Atlanta International Gift and Home Furnishings Market held its inaugural ICON Honors Awards gala, honoring gift and home industry companies & individuals for innovation and achievement.

Throughout the evening a number of honors were announced, including the Award for Singular Achievement by a manufacturer. This prestigious award was bestowed upon our very own Garry Kvistad, founder and owner of Woodstock Chimes.

Garry was recognized for demonstrating consistent exemplary career achievements. Not only is Garry the founder, owner and CEO of Woodstock Chimes, he is also a professional musician who performs around the world. He's also a philanthropist - in the mid-80's Garry and his wife, Diane, started The Woodstock Chimes Fund, which has distributed more than two million dollars in support of arts and humanitarian needs.
