BOB Awards Gala coming to the Gold Eagle Casino

Sep 10, 2018 | 12:00 PM

The BOB Awards gala is just around the corner, and the event aims to recognize the best of the best in the Battlefords.

The second annual event will be held at the Gold Eagle Casino Event Centre on September 19, with doors opening at 6 p.m. It will be a come and go style event, with a red carpet to acknowledge the winners.

Kelly Bitner, of battlefordsNOW said the event is all about the recognition.

“The whole thing is we just want to give as many people as we can recognition for their good work that their doing,” he said. “It’s really about recognizing the best of the best. Where else will a bus driver, or a customer service representative going to get recognition like this? We want to give people an opportunity to feel good and inject positivity into the community.”

Each winner has two tickets, and Bitner said if they haven’t received them yet, they can pick them up at the door. For extra tickets, they will cost $25 either at the radio station or at the door. The BOB awards have garnered more attention this year, which is great for the awards, according to Bitner.

“Even since last year, voting is getting bigger,” he said. “People are getting more excited about it and really working hard to engage their customers.”

The BOB awards recognize the Battlefords area’s finest in food and drink, nightlife, entertainment, shopping, mind & body and more in the over 200 awards presented.
