This year’s Awards Night was held on Thursday, February 5th. You may have had some deja vu as this year’s Awards Night was once again held at Littlefield and Leo Gil served as host again. Also, a repeat from last year were pies from Four and Twenty Blackbird. But this year’s Awards Night brought us a new batch of golden cowbell recipients. And here they are.
