Who had this on their bingo card? We definitely didn't! The Allied Arts Council of Lethbridge has honoured us with their prestigious business award for the work we do supporting arts in southern Alberta.
Moral of the story? If you run amok in the city spraying confetti & identifying solely as a Pastry, eventually even historical organizations have to take you seriously.
...that is the key takeaway, right?
Your local Pastries were honoured at the 2024 Celebrate Downtown Awards ceremony, taking home the "Downtowner" award. YAY!!
(Now that we are technically a downtown business, we didn't feel as fraudulent accepting this!)
If you want to see the rest of the award winners accepting their awards, check out our mini video on it! (Because we can't go anywhere without cameras in tow, let's be real 😅)

Celebrate Downtown Awards: Social Media Award Winner 2023
I'll be honest: not only did we NOT expect to win an award at this celebration, we also didn't know that you could win one without technically having a HQ downtown Lethbridge.
So yeah, I may have cried in public when we received this award, but........ we're among friends here, right?!
