For spreading the buzz about local eateries to 23,000 people on social media, Garland’s Downtown Dine Around earned top honors from the Texas Downtown Association.
The Dine Around landed the People’s Choice Award at the association’s 2019 President’s Awards, celebrated Oct. 30 in Georgetown, Texas. Garland voters helped land the honor by going to the association’s Facebook page to show full support for the Dine Around, an event in which food bloggers toured five downtown restaurants.
The Dine Around was also a finalist for the state association’s Best Promotional Event. The Dine Around was coordinated in conjunction with Tucker & Associates Public Relations.
The Texas Downtown Association recognizes projects, places and people who make a commitment to downtown vitality. Its 2019 awards program drew 119 entries.
