The best stuff Concord has to offer
If we have our way, one day winning the Cappies will be akin to taking home a Grammy Award or an Oscar, although that means we’re going to have to get some tiny golden statues of our smiling selves made. I mean, really, who wouldn’t want one of those on their bookshelf? ::crickets::Anyway, it doesn’t matter what Hollywood celebrities think of the Cappies; around here, it’s a tremendous honor, to be recognized as one of the best local...
