As we close out the year, we always look forward to the chance to celebrate with our team. Last week, the Buzz team – editorial, design, photography, and sales – gathered at Evelyn’s Park to hug and laugh and toast another year of telling our communities’ stories together.
We feel so lucky that you all have given us the privilege of sharing your stories. We are fortunate that we have such a talented team to help us do that. We hope to continue to earn your trust with every issue we publish. It’s hard to believe, but this upcoming January issue will mark our 22nd anniversary. Cheers!
A huge thank you to our team, our readers, our advertisers, our vendors, and all who have supported and trusted us over the last 22 years. Special thanks to our fabulous party vendors: Adair Concepts, Any Occasion Tents & Events, Charlie’s & Co. Events Catering, Elaine’s Florist, Michael’s Cookie Jar, and Evelyn’s Park.
Here’s to many more Buzzworthy years ahead!
