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 for voting us one of the Best Barbershops in the<br />
Folsom/EDH and the <strong>El</strong> <strong>Dorado</strong> <strong>Foothills</strong> regions!<br />
Barbering consists of catering to Men's haircuts as well as facial<br />
hair trimming and shaving. Throughout the U.S. traditional<br />
barbering is making an enormous comeback. Popular haircut<br />
salons leave out a very important aspect of what a barbershop<br />
is all about: the personal interaction and relationships that<br />
develop with the clients. Lucky's Barbershop & Men's Club<br />
closely mimics those of days gone by, with attention to detail<br />
and creating an environment where a man feels at home. Your<br />
first visit will definitely not be your last. Please stop by for a cut<br />
or just to hang out with some cool local fellas.<br />
Thank you to our loyal customers who have voted us #1 Best<br />
Local Business for 9 years!! And also one of the Best Toy Stores!<br />
We would not be here after 170 years if it were not for our<br />
wonderful community that has supported shopping local.<br />
Placerville Hardware is the oldest continuously operated<br />
hardware store west of the Mississippi as well as the second<br />
oldest business in all of California. We are very proud of<br />
our history and hope to provide you the most expansive<br />
and eclectic inventory for many years to come! With<br />
the continued support of our wonderful customers that<br />
shouldn’t be difficult to do.<br />
Come see what we're all about!<br />
