Steve’s Auto voted Best Wrecker Service
After multiple runner-up finishes, Steve’s Auto Center has been voted as the Best Wrecker Service in the Log Cabin Democrat’s Best of Readers’ Choice Awards. Owners Steve and Tracy Gafner have been in business in Conway for nearly nine years. They see this award as an honor from their customers. “We just appreciate all the votes,” Tracy Gafner said. “We’re proud they’ve selected us for our quality of work.” It’s a quality of work Gafner thinks is getting more and more notice. “We’ve been in business for almost nine years now,” she said. “We’ve done more advertising, and our name is getting out there.” As customers have learned more
about the business, they’ve realized the wide selection of services that are offered. “It took people awhile to realize we do more than just automotive repair,” Gafner said. “... We’ve been competing against (businesses) that have been out here for 30 years.” With more people knowing more about the business, customers have taken notice to the variety of servies offered at Steve’s Auto Center. That’s something the owners take pride in. “The fact we can help customers customers with their whole automotive needs,” Gafner said. “We can handle anything from accidents to car locked to tire repair — no matter the size of the car. We’re capable of meeting all the customer’s needs.”
Whether it be towing, car repair, maintenance or other services, customers have seemed to be pleased with their service, Gafner said. That’s helping Steve’s Auto Center not have too many ill affects from tthe down economy. “Even with the economy like it is, we’re staying pretty level,” Gafner said. Gafner said the business was affected some by the Cash for Clunkers event that was held across the country in recent years. “It’s a little more difficult for us to find used parts,” Gafner said. Steve’s Auto Center is located at 1335 East Oak St. in Conway. For more information about the services offered, call 501-336-8473 or e-mail stevesautosvc@conwaycorp.net.
Flanagin Dental awarded ‘Best Dentist’ Log Cabin Democrat readers named Flanagin Dental Service of Conway “Best Dentist” in the 2010 Best of Faulkner County Reader’s Choice Awards. “We’re flattered we won. This
town is full of great dentists so we must have a great staff,” DDS Jimmy Flanagin said. Eighty years of dental experience back the Flanagin dental clinic, located at 800
Locust St. in Conway. “We have a group that works well together and we try to have fun here,” Flanagin said. “We have a lot of people who have stayed with us a long time.”

Smokehouse Bar-B-Que voted top barbecue restaurant again Smokehouse Bar-B-Que was once again voted best barbecue by readers of the Log Cabin Democrat. The favorite barbecue restaurant has been in Conway for six years, and this is its third year in a row to win best barbecue. Britt Smith co-owns the restaurant with his dad, Don Smith. When asked what makes their barbecue business different, Britt said it’s that they have a family tradition of barbecue. They have had three generations, his grandpa, dad and now him, in this business, and the tradition is what makes them different. Other barbecue restaurants owned by the Smith family were JoJo’s and The Shack.
‘There are a few other barbecue places in town, so it lets us know we’re doing something right.’ — Britt Smith
Britt said he is definitely happy about being named best barbecue, and he thanked those who voted for voting for Smokehouse Bar-B-Que. “There are a few other barbecue places in town,
so it lets us know we’re doing something right,” he said. Some characteristics that Britt listed as reasons why customers are satisfied with Smokehouse were the family atmosphere, friendly environment and their effort to make the best barbecue. When customers come to Smokehouse they can expect to be welcomed by Britt and Don. The father and son co-owners greet everyone, one of the reasons why a lot of customers come in two or three times a week, Britt said. “All those things combined make it a special place,” he said.
We are feeling FLANtastic about being voted

Frances Scroggins has been voted Best Attorney again this year by Log Cabin readers in the newspaper’s Best Of Readers’ Choice Awards. Scroggins is the owner of Scroggins Law Firm, and specializes in divorces, wills, trusts, healthcare directives, guardianship and child support, serving clients in Faulkner, Van Buren, Searcy, Cleburne, White and Pope counties. Scroggins began her business in 1996. She had previously practiced law in Little Rock, beginning her career in 1988. “I was a partner when I left there, and I really just made a decision and went out on my own, and I’ve been running the office there ever since,” Scroggins said. Scroggins said that the staff at her office strives to be both sympathetic and professional. “A lot of people are coming out of bad situations, so when people

come into our office we try to make if feel more like they are coming into someone’s home,” Scroggins said. In addition to her regular duties, Scroggins has advocated for children in court for about 50 years. “I was doing ad litum work long before the courts set up rules for ad litums, and I’ve done that on and off again for about 50 years. I still do some work with juveniles as far as representation in juvenile court,” Scroggins said.
Scroggins attributed the success of her endeavors to her coworkers. “It’s not just me. It’s the other people there that make it work every day,” Scroggins said. “And I’d also like to say thank you to the loyal clients that have voted for us for multiple years.” The business is located at 1903 Harkrider St. For more information on Scroggins law firm, call 450-9313 or visit http://www.scrogginslawfirm.com

Shorty’s voted Best Burger in Faulkner County Shorty’s has the best burger in Faulkner County, according to Log Cabin Democrat readers, and have for a number of years. Owner Keith Leach said their success in the burger business can be attributed to their commitment to cook each order fresh. Leach said the same secret recipe has been used for more than 17 years. “We’ve been cooking them a long time that way, and the way we do it is a secret,” Leach said.

Log Cabin readers voted Sonshine Academy Best Dance Studio and Best Gymnastics and Cheer School again this year in the newspaper’s Best Of Readers’ Choice Awards. It was also voted runnerup in the Children’s Birthday Venue category. Scott and Elsie Rose Wright opened Sonshine Academy 19 years ago. The business began in a building downtown during July of 1991 in a 9,000-squarefoot facility. Their vision a success, the couple now own a 32,000square-foot state-of-the-art facility that is unlike any other in the area. Together, the Wrights have formed a business that offers a little bit of everything for both the young and young-at-heart. “We just had a 67-year-old
woman take a tap class and perform in her first recital,” Elsie said. “And we offer swimming lessons for babies beginning at 9 months of age, so there really is something for everyone.” Sonshine Academy offers affordable instruction in the areas of gymnastics, dance, cheerleading, tumbling, preschool gymnastics, swimming and theater. The facilities also host birthday parties, parent’s night out, group events, after-school care and camps and summer day camps. Scott serves as president of Sonshine Academy and oversees the gymnastics program. He has over 35 years of experience in the sport of gymnastics as a gymnast, girls and boys coach, men’s judge and business owner.
Elsie Rose manages the office and oversees the dance and cheerleading programs. She has over 30 years of experience as an athlete, coach, teacher and business owner. Elsie attributes the success of the business to “an incredible staff of people who just love kids.” “This is a tremendous honor from the folks in the area. We appreciate everyone voting so much. It’s just very humbling. It’s such a great honor to serve the people of Conway and the surrounding areas,” Elsie said. Sonshine Academy is located at 2415 Donaghey Ave. at the intersection of Meadowlake Road and Donaghey Avenue. For more information on the programs, call 3277742 or visit their website at http://www.sonshineacademy. com.
