LAFOLLETTE, TN (WLAF)- Classy Threads and Catering was selected as the Campbell County Chamber of Commerce Business of the Month.

Classy Threads owner Vanessa Dupuy was honored with a plaque on Tuesday afternoon after catering at the Rotary Club Luncheon.

Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Missy Tackett presented Dupuy with her plaque and thanked her for her many years in business serving Campbell County.

“Vanessa is a huge part of this community and the chamber is thrilled to have her as our January Business of the Month,” Tackett said.

Classy Threads and Catering is January’s Chamber Business of the Month. Owner Vanessa Dupuy also recently celebrated a birthday on Friday!

“This is a great honor; I’m humbled,” Dupuy said, adding that the years had flown by. She also celebrated a birthday last Friday as well!

Classy Threads and Catering specializes in home cooked meals for all occasions and has been in business for 28 years!

Dupuy and her team cater all kinds of events, from weddings to wedding rehearsals, banquets, company events and more. She makes “good, hearty, home-style cooking and plenty of it.”

Dupuy learned how to cook growing up in Campbell County on a farm. She said she cooked every day and has just “always loved to cook and share food with people.”

She had already been operating her sewing business Classy Threads and would often make snacks for the brides and their families during the fittings. One of the brides enjoyed her chicken salad sandwiches so much; she asked her if she could make 10 pounds of it for her wedding. Dupuy said yes and the catering part of her business was born.

Over the past 28 year, Dupuy’s business has grown and expanded “thanks to all her loyal customers and their word-of-mouth advertising.”

She said she was thankful for her family as well and that her mother Bobbie Archer had been helping her since the beginning as well as inspiring her. 

“Mom has been with me since the start, she’s been right by my side. Good home cooked food is what I was raised on and that’s what I make; nothing fancy, just good home cooked food and plenty of it,” Dupuy said.
