Style Magazine - Readers Choice Awards - El Dorado County Foothills 2022
In this month’s issue, our biggest of the year, we’re celebrating the season—along with all our region’s small businesses (and business owners)—in a big way. If you’re like me and read magazines back to front, then start with “Last Look” on page 82 for an autumn-esque picture snapped locally and our favorite leaf-peeping locales, including East Sacramento—an urban forest that’s currently awash in a canopy of yellow, orange, and crimson-colored trees. Leaving the leaves behind, turn to page 68 for some easy, autumn-inspired recipes utilizing the cream of the harvest crop, including a butternut squash risotto you’ll be eager to reheat…and have on repeat. In honor of the most hallowed holiday—the one where consuming colossal amounts of candy and donning creepy costumes is A-OK—we asked area distilleries for their “boo”ziest, most spirited cocktails. Pick your poison (I think I’ll start with the Midori-spiked, freaky-looking “Frankenstein”) on page 72. We also share some fun, festive Halloween happenings in The 10 Spot (page 16) that are sure to (pumpkin) spice up the season. Around here, it wouldn’t be October without our annual “Best of” feature, where we announce the winners of this year’s Readers’ Choice Awards. It’s a personal favorite because I always discover new (literally) winning places around town to support—like Pasty Pies of the World and Exhilaration Station—and am reminded of all the talented, innovative entrepreneurs our region is teeming with. Find out if your favorite people and places made the list starting on page 51. There’s much more in store, too, including an inspiring, informative piece about local women beating breast cancer (page 20); a spotlight on some of the area’s best bands (page 26); and tips on making sure your WFH office is an authentic place of productivity, whether you prefer to work indoors or (like me!) out (page 54). I hope you’ll agree that these glossy print pages are as plentiful and uplifting as the autumn season itself. Enjoy! ——Megan megan@stylemg.com @meggoeggowaffle

Thank you to the readers of STYLE magazine and<br />
the <strong>Foothills</strong> community for voting me your #1 Best<br />
Mortgage Broker three years running!<br />
I have been in lending since 1984 but I learn something<br />
new each day. It's important to stay up to date and<br />
educated when working in the ever changing mortgage<br />
industry. Having been in the lending industry for over<br />
30 years, I bring perspectives gathered from a career<br />
in many aspects of both wholesale and retail lending<br />
including loan processing, real estate sales, loan<br />
documents, loan funding, underwriting, quality control<br />
and of course loan originating. With this background,<br />
I offer my clients years of experience and knowledge<br />
gained from assisting hundreds of people in all stages<br />
of life and income levels.<br />
As much as I have a passion for my work, I am equally<br />
passionate about my volunteer work with the <strong>El</strong> <strong>Dorado</strong><br />
<strong>County</strong> Association of Realtors HONOR OUR TROOPS<br />
Committee. The mission of this wonderful program is<br />
to send care packages to deployed service members<br />
and provide scholarships for returning veterans. I also<br />
take pride in helping them when purchasing a home<br />
here in my beloved <strong>El</strong> <strong>Dorado</strong> <strong>County</strong>.<br />
