Eugene Weekly : 10.20.05
Best of Eugene 2005
Finally, the moment you've all been waiting for — the results from Eugene Weekly's 9th Annual Best of Eugene readers' poll. You voted. We counted.
| 2005-2006 Winners: |
| Big Fish, Small Pond |
| Sex Drugs and Rock 'n' Roll |
| Art & Other Pretensions |
| Consumer Temples |
| Forkin' Good |
| Staff Picks |
The coveted awards have been lovingly hand-made. The photographers have worked tirelessly to shoot fabulous photos, talking the winners into doing all sorts of crazy stunts just to get a great picture. Our sales team has helped us make enough money to print this behemoth. The interns have been slaving away doing all sorts of odd jobs. The editorial staff has agonized for weeks coming up with weird and wacky questions, and our own quirky staff picks. And our designers have made it look hot.
On Saturday, Oct. 15, we also held the first Best of Eugene Awards Ceremony and fund-raiser for FOOD for Lane County at the McDonald Theatre. We raised about $6,000 and welcomed 2005's happy winners into the Best of Eugene hall of fame. We'd like to thank everyone who came out to support the Eugene Weekly, the Best of Eugene winners and FOOD for Lane County.
So here it is: The places and faces Eugene Weekly readers voted as the very best of Eugene in 2005.
