Readers’ Choice Award 2015
We asked our readers “Who do you love?” and from January to July 2015 over 2000 votes were cast to pick favorite places to shop, dine, and receive best services as well as favorite entertainers, things to do and places to be in Bay County.
The winners are listed on the following pages and we could not be prouder to recognize their great work, service and dedication to customers.
All winners were invited to our awards ceremony in August with all proceeds from the event benefitting the Gulf Coast Children’s Advocacy Center (read more about the GCCAC and their dedicated volunteers on page 58.)
The Reader’s Choic Award winners helped us raise $1,650 for the GCCAC and we are grateful that the best are helping us serve the ones who need our help the most.
Congratulations to all Panama City Living Magazine Readers’ Choice Award Winners!
