Did you “attend” the BoFOs?! If you did, I’m sure like me, you are beaming with pride over our FOYO leadership team who brought the 2020 Best of Fair Oaks Awards Night to life! It was pre-recorded at iconic locations in Fair Oaks by FOYO members: Jimmy Larkin, Jr. Honorary Mayor, Sophie Bollinger, Miss Fair Oaks, Matthew Mason, Producer and Director of the 2020 BoFOs, Noah Wright, Delanie Kendall, Cassie Kendall, Jake Wright, and Emma Ford. You can see the video at www.fairoakschamber.com and even donate to their scholarship fund there. Applications are being accepted now for youth ages 12-19,
to join this very special group! BoFO voting took place at www.bestoffairoaks.com where you can see all the nominees and the winners in each category. Not listed at that site, are the nominees and winners for the special FOCC-specific awards, chosen by the Board of Directors and the Executive Director for their support of FOCC and the community over the previous year. Volunteer of the Year was awarded to Ryan Griffith, Averik/Voterfly, and the nominees were: Katy Coss, FO Park & Rec District, John Oldham, Resident Member, and Jeanette Woodward, Resident Member. The winner for Business Person of the Year was Chrysti Tovani, Tovani Design & Photography, and a hard-working candidate for Honorary
Mayor last year. The nominees were: Dot Boyd, Senior Safety Specialist, Erik Hokom, UPS Store Gold River, and Wei Zhang, FO Brew Pub. Business of the Year was awarded to French in the Village, owned by Rose Erickson. The nominees were: Del’s Pizza, Averik/Voterfly, Smokey Oaks Tavern, and Valley Redemptive Church. The Special Recognition Award was presented to Mary Howard, Resident Member for her exceptional support of FOCC all year. The most prestigious award, Citizen of the Year went to
Keith Wright, Director of the OV-FO Food Bank for all that he and his team have done to serve our communities in these unprecedented times. Congratulations to all!!
