The Best Award Winners

 What is my favorite thing about Best of Augusta? Telling people they’ve won! From business owners who are first-time winners to perennial favorites, folks are always excited, honored and grateful when they’re told they’ve been voted best by the readers of AUGUSTA Magazine.

Even though there are many contests like ours around now, people believe it is something special to be voted tops by our readers in a poll that was the first of its kind more than 25 years ago.

You’ll find our annual “Best of Augusta” feature beginning on page 34. Peruse the pages to find great places to eat, shop and have fun. You may discover something new to try or be pleased to see that some of your favorites are everyone else’s favorites too.

You can visit with many of our winners and sample their food at our annual Best of Augusta Celebration, Tuesday, October 18. Tickets are on sale now through our website, augustamagazine.com.

Our event this year will be held at a new location, Sacred Heart Cultural Center, from 6:30 to 9 p.m. We have formed a new partnership with the Greater Augusta Arts Council and Sacred Heart Cultural Center to be the hosts and beneficiaries. Tickets are $20 in advance and $25 at the door. All ticket sales go to benefit these two wonderful organizations.

Our new venue brings some great opportunities to make the event even more enjoyable for attendees and winners. We’ll have an optimum setup to enjoy the best musical talent while at the same time sampling all the great food. The winners are the real heroes of the Best of Augusta Celebration. Without their generous contribution of food and entertainment each year, we would not be able to raise funds for these important community organizations.

 We are very pleased to partner with the Arts Council and Sacred Heart on this highly anticipated, annual event. Hosting it at Sacred Heart will add beauty and I believe it will offer an exciting change for our winners. If you haven’t attended the event in a few years, this will be a great year to join us. We are looking forward to a special evening with our readers, customers and friends.

See you there!
