The 2013 CotY Recap

The weather outside was frightful but those 2013 CotYs were so darn delightful. Despite mother nature launching a fierce storm at the very hour that attendees we traveling to the CotY Awards, we still managed to have 118 out of 121 people show up and celebrate the finest achievements in remodeling. 

Our Leadership was happy to bestow 16 CotY Awards and 8 Meritorious Awards. The highlights of the evening were the warm remarks from our president, Tom Walko, the Jazz Trio entertainment of The Lucas Brown Group, The Ex-Presidents Choir, The comedy stylings of Shecky Green and the guest hosting of Tina Fey and Amy Poehler (The last two statements are not 100% true but if you were there, you get the jokes)

Here are just a few pictures that highlighted the evening...
