Millcreek Business Gala Success!

Thank you to everyone who was able to join us for our Millcreek Business of the Year Gala! We loved celebrating Millcreek's amazing business community with you. For those who were unable to attend, don't worry! We hold our gala annually, and will look forward to seeing you next year. 

Surrounded by fall leaves and the smell of crisp air, the event included a delicious lunch catered by Millcreek's own Katrina's Mexican Restaurant & Cantina, and a silent auction that raised $1,300 for the Millcreek Promise Program.

Awards for the Business of the Year, as well as for Best Nonprofit, Best Restaurant, Best Retail, Best Service, Best Workplace, and several Mayor's Choice Awards, all shown below, were presented.

ChaiYo Thai Togo

ChaiYo Thai opened during the pandemic, and has given Millcreek residents quality takeout orders ever since. "Chaiyo" means "hurrah" in Thai, which is exactly what people say when they eat their food. Though they've only been in the community for a short time, they've been making waves by being featured in City Weekly and becoming a local hot spot.
