The Fair Oaks Chamber of Commerce celebrated the “Best of Fair Oaks” by putting on a glamorous evening at the North Ridge Country Club to honor and present awards to local business leaders who were voted best in their category on the BestofFairOaks.com website.
It was an honor to be one of the winners this year. I have been following events and photographing in Fair Oaks for years and this year I finally joined the Fair Oaks Chamber of Commerce. I love all of the people and businesses in our town of Fair Oaks, California. It’s the best feeling to know
