From burgers and desserts to spas and gyms, more than 70 of the best businesses in Dayton recently showcased their products, cuisine and services at Dayton Magazine’s fifth annual Best of Dayton celebration. Nearly 500 people attended the Best of Dayton celebration, which included a caricaturist, at The Mandalay, 2700 E River Road in Moraine, on Nov. 1. Those who attended voted for the people and places in and around the Miami Valley they thought were the best. We tallied the votes and are now proud to present this year’s winners. The Best of Dayton celebration was sponsored by the Evans Dealer Group; Logan AC & Heat Services; Sunrise Treatment Center and Renewal by Andersen; our community partner The Dayton Area Chamber of Commerce and our media partner WDTN-TV.

Furry Skurry and Furry Fest is a day for all animal lovers in the Miami Valley to come together and not just run or walk in a race but celebrate what animals do in our lives, says Jessica “JJ” Garringer, marketing and public relations manager. “There are tons of fun activities and
moments throughout the day to show off your pet and see others do the same,” she says. “It is about community and really emphasizing the bond between people and their beloved furry friends.” The Humane Society of Greater Dayton is a no-kill organization and the largest, most-established animal welfare agency in the Miami Valley, says Garringer. “We have been serving the people and pets in our community since 1902 and focus on ensuring all animals feel valued and loved,” she says. Services offered by the Humane Society of Greater Dayton include adoptions, veterinary services, cruelty/neglect investigations, trap-neuter-return, pet therapy and more, says Garringer. And as a 501(c)(3) all of its programs and services that it offers are funded 100 percent by individuals, companies and grants. “The Humane Society of Greater Dayton is the only organization in our community working with all types of animals,” says Garringer. “From cats and dogs to horses, pigs or even alligators we are here to ensure all are valued and free from suffering.”
