For the last two years in September and October, South Brevard has come together to truly spotlight and honor all of our local businesses that have truly touched our lives. Our 2017 Gold Daisy Awards did not disappoint, and every step of the way has been a fun adventure - from the Nominating Round through the Voting Round. I am honored to present to your this year's Winners for many reasons; mainly because I know what this means to those who win.
Congratulations to absolutely every business who was nominated, in the Top 5, and who won. You all should hold your head very high. You have made a tremendous impact on our community - that is what matters most!
