Time is running out to vote in the Times Union s Best of the Capital Region 2021 readers survey and the competition for the top spot in many goods and services categories is fierce!
Is the best bookstore in the Capital Region the Book House of Stuyvesant Plaza or behemoth bookseller Barnes and Noble? Are you team Market 32 or Team Hannaford? Mere dozens of votes separate the winners in some of the survey s most popular categories.

Ashley Campbell is the CEO and founder of Coral & Blue Paper Company a children’s stationery business located in Saratoga Springs. She created and patented a signature line of stationery designed to make ‘thank you’ notes “simple and joyful for kids,” she says.
As a mom, she says she realized the importance of kids writing thank you notes, especially in our digital age, but couldn’t find stationery to meet the needs of elementary schoolers.
“Kindergarteners through fifth graders typically have larger handwriting and need more space, so every card is twice the width of regular stationery and features elementary lines to help keep sentences straight and avoid writing frustration,” says the entrepreneur. Every card she sells mails with a single stamp and is made here in the Capital Region with Mohawk Paper.

Author Cari Scribner is one of those people who refuse to give up. She has wanted to be a writer since she was in third grade when her teacher at Blue Creek Elementary School, part of the North Colonie School District, told her she wrote the best essays in the class. “That teacher took me aside and said I was going to be a writer,” said Scribner. “I believed her. She was my teacher.”
She eventually attended The College of Saint Rose where she majored in journalism and minored in creative writing. “While there I wrote everything, a screenplay, haikus, even advertising copy. The writing classes were very specific, but I found the conciseness of journalism to be my calling.”
