Winners Chosen for Workamper News' Workamper of the Year Award

John and June Clayton were nominated by Silver Dollar City Attractions – White Water in Branson, Missouri.

John and June Clayton are the recipients of the 2009 Workampers of the Year award presented by Workamper® News. The Claytons were nominated by their employer, Silver Dollar City Attractions – White Water in Branson, Missouri.

The Claytons began working for Silver Dollar City Attractions in 2003 at Celebration City. The nomination came because of their outgoing, adventurous and loving personalities, Sonya Hoyt, HR Director, said. “They are both tremendously reliable, fiercely loyal, are extremely hardworking employees, and are the best at making memories worth repeating for our guests.” Hoyt said.

When Celebration City closed at the end of 2008, John and June graciously moved to White Water and started working in the Creekside Cantina food venue. “They originally agreed to work two days a week, but eventually moved to 40 hours a week because there was a need,” Hoyt said. “They simply don’t know the meaning of ‘that’s not my job.’”

These Workampers were chosen out of five nominations sent in this year after the contest was announced in the Workamper® News July/August 2009 issue. The Claytons will receive a framed certificate, $100 Gift Certificate to the Workamper® News Store and a mention in the Workamper® News November/December 2009 issue.

This is the twelfth year for this award, which honors Workampers who display excellence in job performance and epitomize the true Workamper® spirit. Workampers are adventuresome singles/couples who enjoy a lifestyle that combines a variety of interesting work opportunities with RV living.
