2019 READERS’ CHOICE AWARDS
Fauquier Times | www.fauquier.com | June 26, 2019
SUMMER, SUNSHINE and SMILES! The sun was shining and the mood celebratory – even at 7:30 a.m. – on Monday morning, June 24. Winners of the Fauquier Times Readers Choice Awards were photographed on the front steps of the old courthouse on Main Street. Melissa German (executive director) and Kathleen Webhorst (chairman of the board) of Fauquier Community Child Care sat on the steps of the Warren Green Building, talking about the honor. “Our parents came out in full force to vote for us. That means a lot to us,” said German. The organization cares for about 700 kids a year, between the school year program and summer camps. “We spend more time and work than at home, so this is very gratifying. And,” German said with a smile, “who doesn’t like to win an award?” Who indeed? Abbie Ford, director of retail banking for The Fauquier Bank, said, “We cherish our involvement with our community. This is very important for us every year.” Representing Faangs restaurant in Warrenton, “Pete” (his Thai name was too complicated, he said), a line cook, said, “we do the hard work to keep our customers happy. We serve from the soul and provide very good quality.” Jared Andrick, kitchen manager at LongHorn Steakhouse, was happy about the Readers Choice recognition. “We are just happy to be able to take care of our customers. Our job is to have guests leave happy, and to take care of our community.”
Dawn Smith spoke on behalf of Peak Roofing Contractors. “We are ecstatic! This is our second year in a row.” She said the company does roofs, siding, windows and doors. Picturesque Farms in Opal offers a variety of equestrian services: boarding, lessons, training, breeding and sales. Kristy Willwerth said she was “super excited” with the Readers Choice win. “We didn’t know this was one of the categories, so we didn’t even vote for ourselves!” Fauquier’s favorite computer geek Dok Klaus of Warrenton was also excited to be a winner. “We are glad to be able to continue to provide excellent service,” he said. Stephanie Jones of Long & Foster said she was “...thrilled to be here. It is very humbling and a great honor.” Lindsey Davis, bar manager of the Black Bear Bistro was awarded best bartender honors. “It shows that a lot of people who come in like our drinks.” For a Dancer owner Rachel Good was at the photo shoot with a large contingent. The studio spent 16 years in Warrenton before moving to Bealeton six years ago. “It makes me feel great because the whole community voted for us!” she said.
