Readers’ Choice Awards 2017
Readers’ Choice Award 2017
We asked our readers “Who do you love?” and 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 on August 17 with all proceeds from the event benefiting the Gulf Coast Children’s Advocacy Center.
The Reader’s Choice Award winners helped us raise $6,191.57 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!
