Capitol Hill:

Celebrating Capitol Hill Businesses at The 2015 Hilly Awards

IMG_4539-300x300On Saturday night, Capitol Hill business owners and neighbors gathered for a celebration of Hill businesses at the 2015 Hilly Awards Gala. Music by Only Lonesome and Word of Mouth A Cappella set a festive mood while we mingled and enjoyed food from some of our favorite local restaurants. Thank you to Sona Creamery, The ArgonautToscana Cafe, Capitol Hill Cake Mom, Ciao Chow, DC Vegan, District Taco, and The Sweet Lobby for providing tasty treats for the event!

Winners and top nominees in each category were announced by Ward 6 Councilmember Charles Allen. With 22 categories this year, more businesses than ever were recognized for their contribution to our neighborhood.

The winners and top nominees, listed in alphabetical order, are below. Congratulations to the winners and all of the nominees! These businesses are a huge part of what makes our neighborhood so wonderful. As the holiday shopping season approaches, remember how many great local shopping options you have, and keep supporting these small business owners.

The annual gala is organized by CHAMPS, Capitol Hill’s Chamber of Commerce, the voice of Capitol Hill’s business community. The organization is made up of business and community leaders dedicated to building a strong economic environment on Capitol Hill for business development within the larger Washington, DC, community. The Hill is Home was a media sponsor again this year and I am proud to sit on CHAMPS’ board.

    Hopefully some of these businesses will pay attention and try to stop the crazy crime spike in the area.
