Eighth Annual Harford County Living Choice Awards

As the curtains draw on what might be the final year of the Harford County Living Choice Awards, it’s a moment of reflection, celebration, and gratitude. This year’s awards have once again spotlighted the remarkable talent, dedication, and service excellence that thrive within Harford County. From local businesses to individual professionals, the range of categories and the quality of nominees have showcased the vibrant community spirit and the high standards of excellence that define our county.

A Salute to the Winners and Distinguished Recognition Awardees

The awards have highlighted exceptional entities and individuals across various sectors. Sonipak Design & Marketing emerged as a triple winner, clinching titles in Marketing, Advertising/Public Relations, and Web Design, showcasing their unparalleled creativity and impact. A.
