Manchester, NH- The New Hampshire Fisher Cats, Double-A affiliate of the Toronto Blue Jays, have been selected as a repeat winner in New Hampshire Business Review's 2009 BOB Awards, which honor the "Best of Business" in New Hampshire. The Fisher Cats were honored in a statewide readership survey as the Best Sporting Venue to Take a Client for the second consecutive year.

All of the winners will be honored at a celebration to be held from 5:30pm-8:30pm on Wednesday, March 18, at the Grappone Conference Center in Concord.

"We want to thank our fans for allowing us to repeat as a New Hampshire Business Review BOB Award winner," said Fisher Cats owner Art Solomon. "Our affordable prices, clean ballpark and family-friendly entertainment all contribute to making Merchantsauto.com Stadium an ideal destination to share time with a client because there is nothing quite like enjoying some of the best baseball talent in the world in a beautiful outdoor setting all spring and summer."

"With over double the number of ballots cast for 2009, the BOB Awards have really become a standard in excellence in the business community," said Jeff Feingold, editor of New Hampshire Business Review.
