Fow said he is excited to congratulate the community in person again and add to the excitement of the night. "I think the Best of Amarillo is probably the number one event that any business, including a small local business, can be a part of, because it depends on the community's vote and opinion. It's such a prestigious award for them to receive and something that they should be truly proud of, because the community has chosen them as a winner and finalist," Fow said.

At the entrance, guests will be offered champagne as they pose for their red carpet photo opportunity. Live music will be provided by singer/guitarist Tom Buechi. Dinner will be served around approximately 7 p.m., with the awards ceremony beginning around 8 p.m. Onstage, Miss Texas will recognize each category winner with their award certificate, leading up to the announcement of the top three Best Of Amarillo finalists. During the event, individual businesses from more than 203 categories will be honored as the people of Amarillo's choice. Jaime Pipkin, Multi-Media Account Executive for the Amarillo Globe-News, spoke about why she participates and enjoys the event each year. "This is our 21st year hosting the Best Of Amarillo, and I am proud to be a part of the celebration of so many amazing businesses in our community. As an account executive with AGN Media for the last 17 years, this is one of my favorite events of the year. ... There are thousands of businesses in the Amarillo area, so to be chosen by the members of this community is truly something to be honored," Pipkin said. In addition to the immediate recognition that comes with winning the Best Of award, businesses will also receive benefits after the ceremony. While the awards recognize businesses' past commitment to the community, they also allow the businesses to prosper for the next year as individuals seek out the best business for their needs. In 2022, peer reviews are one of the No. 1 deciding factors for individuals when choosing a vendor or company for a private service. "This is a community vote award system, so this helps them with their business for the next year, because the community is going to look at these awards and know they were chosen by other community members as the best business in that category," Fow said. Following the ceremony, a special edition of the Amarillo magazine will be included in the print edition of the Sunday, Oct. 23 Amarillo Globe-News, congratulating the 2022 Best of Winners.
