This past June, CRL Bestie season culminated in a celebration of this year’s winners at what was widely considered the best BestieFest yet. Part of what made it so special was the unique venue—we held it at The Hangar at 743, an event space right next to the Albany Airport runway. That, and the fact that so many local Bestie winners contributed to make the evening magical. CRL would like to thank Music Man Entertainment, Curamia Tequila, CDPHP, Freixenet, Adirondack Balloon Co., News10 ABC’s John Gray, Awards by Walsh, West Ave Pizza, Old Daley Custom Catering, Sake, Swifty’s, Coccadots, Yanni’s Too, Brown’s Brewing Co., Hannaford, Bella Napoli, Illusive, Cardona’s and Good Karma Studio, which provided gravity-defying entertainment overlooking the Albany airfield.
