Best of Sacramento 2017 Winners
Models provided by Cast ImagesPhotography by Tyler & Christina
Like stars in the sky, the hottest shine brightest, and in the realm of the universe, discoveries loom large. We were on a mission to find the best. In orbit: the winners of our 2017 Best of Sacramento survey. Everyone was allowed on the odyssey—online voting took place during a two-month balloting process earlier this year, and each respondent was allowed to fill out the survey once.
Our winners are, quite simply, out of this world.
