Hudson Valley Business Owner Wins Prominent Award For Best on The East Coast
Winning an award has been something that we have all strived for since we were little. In school, we got praised and even given gifts if we achieved a goal or received a special award.
As adults, it may be harder to win something or receive recognition in our everyday lives. When this rare moment happens, I would believe that it also awakens something inside of us to not only feel proud of ourselves but to give one credit for such an achievement.
Here in the Hudson Valley, there is a lot of local businesses. From boutiques to restaurants, cideries, breweries and wineries, it could never get boring. These one of a kind, local businesses fill our towns with excitement, a place to feel welcomed and a connection with the community.
