Jelly Belly 800.323.9380 www.jellybelly.com A Norman Rockwell Christmas from Virginia Diner The year was 1929 and America was headed into the Great Depression, but along a dusty highway in southeastern Virginia a small railroad din- ing car was about to open its doors and start selling meals to hungry travelers. Established in the heart of Virginia Peanut country, it was only natural that peanuts ended up on the Virginia Diner menu. Today, Vir- ginia Diner nuts and confections are available at fine retailers nation- wide. The Virginia Diner has signed a three-year licensing agreement with the Norman Rockwell Family Agency. The license gives the Virginia Diner marketing and sales use of a number of the Norman Rockwell original prints. Scott Stephens, Director of Sales and Marketing with the Virginia Diner, states the initial launch has been well received by Virginia Diner's wholesale customers: "We have incorporated a number of original Norman Rockwell images into our Merry Christmas labels and used various designs to invoke the nostalgia and history of the Diner". There isn't a more iconic illustration of the holidays than the Norman Rockwell collection. "We are very excited to be associated with the Norman Rockwell family," Stephens said. "The painting on the label of our double dipped chocolate covered peanuts was produced in 1949 and is perhaps the most famous painting from the Norman Rockwell 'Young Love' series, and simply called 'Young Love – Sledding.' This painting was originally produced on the twentieth anniversary of the Virginia Diner and was selected for our chocolate covered peanuts." Virginia Diner 888.823.4637 sales@vadiner.com.
