Well folks, gather 'round because it's officially that time of year again! Chippewa Vallians – friends, family, area businesses, local movers and shakers and everyone in between – came together for our annual "Best Night" on Feb. 7 to celebrate the much-anticipated 2026 Best of the Chippewa Valley Reader Poll.

And on the red carpet, the energy was electric and the looks... oh, the looks did not disappoint! From sharp suits and glittering gowns to locally sourced accessories, the style on display this weekend was truly reflective of the Valley's joyful spirit.

Everyone was dressed to the nines, ready to celebrate their wins, their neighbors and their community.
