Gettysburg’s Greatest Results

By Tessa Walter

With COVID-19 vaccine progress going strong and mask mandates slowly ending, a sense of normalcy in a post-COVID world is upon us, and we are thankful to finally be here! 

Many of our local businesses have suffered greatly in the last year and a half, but those that have survived attest their success to our amazing community who happily ate out more than a few times a week or made an oath to shop local. Overcoming this past year together has made us even more proud to be a part of such a special community and celebrate, once again, Gettysburg’s Greatest.

Thanks to our readers’ suggestions, we’ve added numerous categories throughout the years. If you would like to suggest a category or share feedback to enhance our awards, we’d love to hear from you. Please email info@celebrategettysburg.com with your ideas.

Congratulations to our 2021 Gettysburg’s Greatest Awards winners!
