letter to reader
Amanda Danaher,
Frederickburg Parent
and Family Ac ng Editor.
Our 12th annual Family Favorites results are
in, and I am blown away by the response.
From beloved small businesses to everyday
services that make family life run a little
smoother, these winners reflect what matters
most to local families. These are not just Family Favorites winners on a
page. They are the places you rely on, recommend to friends and return
to again and again.
And it doesn't stop there.
Fredericksburg continues to shine as an amazing community, with
Caroline Street recently earning recognition from Garden & Gun
Magazine as "Best Main Street in the South." And honestly, we couldn't
agree more. It is one more reminder of what so many of us already
know. This is a place where history, charm and community come togeth-
er in a way that feels both vibrant and deeply rooted.
It is why you choose to be here. Why you raise our families here. Why
you show up for one another.
Because at the end of the day, it is not just about where you live. It is
about how you live. And here, that looks like connection, support and a
whole lot of local spirit.
So flip the pages of this month's issue to find all of FXBG's local favor-
ites and see why this community continues to stand out. Fredericksburg
is what it is because of each and every one of you.
XOXO

What Makes Us
