The man who’s lived by the “Golden Rule” personally and professionally, received a payback during the Sweets & Snacks Expo this year, albeit in copper. R. Anthony Sweet, chairman of Salt Lake City-based Sweet Candy Co., became Candy Industry’s 67th annual Kettle Award recipient during a reception held at the exclusive Union League Club of Chicago on May 9.
The Club’s main room was filled with more than 250 guests who came to celebrate the four Kettle Award nominees: James Buffardi, cfo of Ferrara Pan Candy Co.; Charles Flavelle, chairman of R.C. Purdy Chocolates Ltd.; Mitchell Goetze, president and ceo of Goetze’s Candy Co.; and “Tony” Sweet, chairman of Sweet Candy Co.
