This is it. You’re holding in your hands–or reading online–our most anticipated issue of the year! December reveals the profiles of our 35 Best of Berks winners. This year racked up more votes than nearly any year in the history of Best of Berks voting, so if you’ve earned top honors, wear that badge with extreme pride.
Also this year, you’ll see plenty of new, and a healthy amount of familiar, faces. While it’s a lot of work to compile the results and coordinate this issue, it is surely also a fun labor of love. Making the initial calls to notify our winners that they’ve been voted “best” just might be my favorite part of the process, though. Meet the 2021 Class starting on page 29.
I want to extend a huge thank you to Marian Frances Wolbers, who helped to gather together this year’s group of Best of Berks writers, many of them Albright College students, as well as the students themselves, for helping our honorees to tell just what makes them stand out amongst their peers. Also integral in the process is our photographer, Heidi Reuter, who has really outdone herself yet again.
And in celebration of the holiday season, if you’re looking for some decorating inspiration, be sure to flip to page 54 to view the fabulous holiday home owned by the Perez family of Sinking Spring. Hosting friends and family and looking to serve up a special cocktail? Try the one featured in our Bar Stool on page 11. Regardless of what you’re celebrating this season, we hope you all enjoy the very best in good health and that you’re filled with an abundance of joy.
