The spotlight is on Sacramento at the 'Best of' party hosted by Sacramento Magazine, Thursday at the Convention Center.
The winners from the "best of" categories will show what they've got while attendees can try out the best products, services, and entertainment that Sacramento has to offer. The winner for best candy store, Sees Candy and the winner for best regional winery Bogel Vineyards will be a couple of the participating vendors at the party.
The winners from the eight categories will be showing attendees what they've got, allowing them to sample products, services and entertainment - the best Sacramento has to offer.
Some of this year's winners include , Best New Fun Spot, MIX Downtown, Best Place To Get a Tattoo, Wild Bill's Tattoo and Best Kings Player, Kevin Martin.
"We're excited for the entertainment," Megan Chiechi, marketing director for Sacramento Magazine said. "We have Ryan Hernandez (local acoustic alternative artist) performing, 60 wineries, 70 restaurants, a grand display of a fire engine that people can take pictures with, free massages, Western Feed is making free dog tags, and there will be party bags."
The party will benefit the March of Dimes, the leading non-profit organization for pregnancy and baby heath. Last year's event raised $400,000 for the charity, and they hope to match that this year, according to Chiechi.
"Other chapters of the March of Dimes (around the country) had been doing these 'Best of' parties with city regional magazines in other cities," Chiechi said. "Our local chapter of the March of Dimes originally approached us to start our own 'Best of' party in Sacramento. Thus, the Best of Sacramento Party began."
Sacramento Magazine has been hosting the 'Best of Sacramento' party for the past 10 years.
The silent auction offering goods and services from some of Sacramento's best will begin at 4:30 p.m., doors will open at 5:30, and tickets are $75 in advance and $95 on the day of the party.
