On July 1, 2012 (inaugural year) we had the wonderful opportunity to see who won an 8 inch CRYSTAL Trophy. 27 categories, 27 trophies. Which category do you belong in?nnThe Forsyth County Entertainment Awards was founded in 2011 by Ellen Leak, owner of CUT A RUG TIME, LLC. This is an event where people who normally do not receive awards will have a chance. The entertainment industry has stood solid during the recession although many businesses had to cut prices to stay afloat. These businesses need to feel our appreciation and support. This event will showcase this. Also this event will show the citizens of Forsyth County who is the best of the best. These awards are comprised for the citizens of Forsyth County and by citizens of Forsyth County. nWith sponsors and support from various organizations; we will honor small businesses, encourage monies to stay in the city and give our future Graduates something to look forward to. In addition to this Ceremony; Aids Care Services will be presented with a monetary donation towards the upkeep of their program. Remember the best of the best that Forsyth County has is in their mist. We need everyone’s help to make this a success!
