It's February — and that means it's time for the Heart of Del Ray Awards!
"Every February, the Del Ray Business Association presents the Heart of Del Ray Award to the business that serves as the heart and soul of Del Ray, as determined by a public vote of neighbors and customers," according to the Del Ray Business Association. "Selection is based on which business best demonstrates their warm and welcoming attitude to the community and customers, their commitment and generosity to the community, and to their overall contribution to Del Ray."
The nominees for 2020 are:
- Lena's Wood-Fired Pizza & Tap
- Ms. Preeti's 7-Eleven
- Rock of Ages Music
- Stomping Ground
- Studio Body Logic
Voting is open through Wednesday, Feb. 12.
Look for the large heart-shaped award outside the winning business on Thursday, Feb. 13.
A business can only win the award once. Past winners of the award include A Show of Hands, The Jen Walker Team, Bobi Bomar Homes of Alexandria, The Neighborhood Pharmacy of Del Ray, Greener Cleaner of Del Ray, Del Ray Pizzeria, Mind the Mat Pilates & Yoga, Caboose Cafe, Del Ray Cafe, Pork Barrel BBQ/Holy Cow/The Sushi Bar, and Taqueria Poblano.
