The breezes wafting, sometime strongly, made us glad that Best of the Best for April, 2017, had the protection of the glassed-in section of our gathering place at La Buena Vida Restaurant. This month’s crowd was minus many snow-birds, yet as lively as ever with their conversations and greetings to each other.
Judges for this traditional first Friday of the month event were Mary Henderson, Carly Flores, and Annette Bartsch; our photographer was David Zucker. Prizes for only two categories were awarded: Best of the Best Shirt and Best of the Best Sandals (see winners below); the judges deemed there were no Best of the Best Clever T-Shirts in the crowd. The winner of Best Shirt received a free drink from Turtle Bay Bakery and Café and the winner of Best Sandals, a free drink from Lunita Restaurant.
A much-appreciated feature this month was a random drawing for a bottle of locally-produced Cueva Vodka from Turtle Bay and a bottle of wine from La Buena Vida. Rozanne Quintero won the vodka and Paul Auteri, the wine. Is this becoming a new feature of Best of the Best? If you are a local business–or even a remote one–consider becoming a prize donor for this popular feature.
Please join us for the next Akumal’s Best of the Best event on May 5, 2017.
