The Virginian Hotel’s elegant ballroom was filled to capacity on January 1 as Best Of winners, sponsors, and attendees gathered for an unforgettable evening.
Guests enjoyed an exceptional culinary experience, thanks to Bentleys on Bedford, Skyline at the Virginian, Downtown Cairo, Sweet Indulgence Bakery, The Virginian Hotel, Mellow Mushroom, Playa Bowls, Market at Main, County Smoak, and William & Henry Steakhouse. As they sampled a variety of mouthwatering local flavors, attendees cast their votes for the evening’s top restaurant. Downtown Cairo earned Gold in the People’s Choice awards, with County Smoak taking Silver and Market at Main securing Bronze.
The celebration continued on the dance floor as winners and guests sang and danced the night away to the incredible sounds of Apple Butter Soul. Sarah Blankenship, representing Pierce Street Gateway—this year’s nonprofit partner—graciously emceed the event.
A special thank you to our sponsor, Beacon Credit Union, whose support helped make this celebration possible.
