Sauk Valley's favorite businesses honored at Mad Water Saloon
May 16—DIXON — Business owners and members of the Shaw Local team gathered at Dixon's Mad Water Saloon on Thursday to celebrate the Sauk Valley's favorite businesses of 2025. Shaw Local's Sauk Valley Favorites 2025 contest drew more than 67,000 votes, resulting in 5,166 nominations for more than 1,400 businesses in 100 categories, as residents across the Sauk Valley region cast their ballots to honor their favorite local businesses and services. "When we first envisioned Sauk Valley Favorites, we had hoped that it would become a way to spotlight the incredible local businesses that make this community special, but the response that we received was bigger than our wildest expectations," Sauk Valley Media's Publisher Jennifer Heintzelman said. Shaw Local held a similar "Reader's Choice" contest in the past, but decided to harness the power of its combined news and radio audience to create an all-encompassing contest highlighting the community's "hidden gems." The process began last November, when nominations were opened across more than 110 categories through January, including Home Services, Auto Service, Food & Beverage, Professional Services, Health & Beauty, Local Arts, Leisure & Entertainment and Local Retail. Each category featured a top-voted 'Favorite' business, with additional honorees recognized as 'One of the Favorites.' The following is a list of the 'Favorite' businesses: Auto Sales Service & Equipment Favorite Auto Body Shop: Slim-N-Hanks Favorite Auto Repair: Moore Tires Favorite Car Wash: Huffman Car Wash Favorite Farm Equipment Dealer: Peabudy's Favorite Gas Station: Casey's Favorite Lawn/Yard Equipment Dealer: Ace Hardware & Outdoor Center — Dixon Favorite Place for an Oil Change: Palmyra Pines Auto Service Favorite Place to Buy Tires: Moore Tires Favorite Wrecker/Towing Service: Dabney Services LLC Food & Beverage Favorite Bakery: Aurelio's Bake Shop Favorite Banquet Facility: Deer Valley Banquets Favorite Bar/Tavern: Lisa's Brick House Bar & Grill Favorite Bartender: Mateo Martinez — LUXX The Restaurant Favorite Caterer: Back Road Bar-B-Q Favorite Deli: Arthur's Garden Deli Favorite Food Truck: Main Squeeze Favorite Liquor Store: Liquor 'N' Wine Favorite Place for a First Date: LUXX The Restaurant Favorite Place for a Shake: Culver's Favorite Place for a Steak: LUXX The Restaurant Favorite Place for Bloody Mary: Lisa's Brick House Bar & Grill Favorite Place for Breakfast: Eggs in Paradise Favorite Place for Brunch: Fresco on First Favorite Place for Chicken: Candlelight Inn Favorite Place for Coffee: Coffee Crush Favorite Place for Dessert: Meusel's Dairy Delite Favorite Place for Hamburgers: Shamrock Pub Favorite Place for Ice Cream: Meusel's Dairy Delite Favorite Place for Lunch: Kelly's Favorite Place for Margarita's: Kelly's Favorite Place for Martinis: Bartini's Favorite Place for Mexican Food: Kelly's Favorite Place for Pizza: Angelo's Favorite Place for Seafood: Luxx The Restaurant Favorite Place for Tacos: La Laguna Favorite Place for Wings: JW's 3rd Base Favorite Place to Buy Meat: The Butcher Shop Favorite Restaurant: Kelly's Favorite Salad Bar: Angelo's Health & Beauty Favorite Assisted Living Facility: Resthave Care & Rehabilitation Favorite Barbershop: Ben's Phresh Kutz Favorite Beauty Salon: B'lush Salon Favorite Chiropractic Clinic: Kirkland Family Chiropractic Center Favorite Dental Clinic: Amboy Dental Group Favorite Fitness Center: Grit & Grace Fitness Favorite Home Health Care Agency: Rock River Hospice & Home Favorite Massage/Day Spa: Relax with Sarah Favorite Nursing Home: Heritage Square Favorite Place to get a Manicure/Pedicure: Nails By Victoria Garcia Favorite Place to Purchase Eyeglasses: CGH Vision Center Favorite Yoga Studio: Rhuomai Studio Home Services Favorite Contractor/Carpenter: Boss Roofing — Siding Experts Favorite Electrician: Weaver Electric Favorite Fencing Company: Sterling Fence & Deck Favorite Flooring Company: Brothers Flooring Favorite Garage Door Installer: Grizzly Garage Door Favorite Greenhouse/Nursery: Selmi's Favorite Heating/Cooling Contractor: Farley's Appliance Sales and Services Favorite Landscape Contractor: Dravis Landscape Favorite Lumber Company: Frary Lumber Favorite Pest Control: Pest Control Consultants Favorite Plumber: SPK Plumbing & Heating Favorite Roofing Company: TCS, Total Construction Services Favorite Tree Service Provider: Cole's Complete Tree Service Local Arts, Leisure, & Entertainment Favorite Campground: Crow Valley Campground Favorite Church and Where: Immanuel Lutheran Dixon Favorite Community Event: Petunia Fest Favorite Dance Studio: Eastman School of Dance Favorite Event Venue: Dixon Elks Lodge 779 Favorite Golf Course: Deer Valley Golf Club Favorite Local Politician: Joe McDonald Favorite Local Radio Personality: Sam Ramirez — River Country Favorite Local Radio Station: River Country 101.7 Favorite Park: Lowell Park Favorite Photographer: You In Photos By Nanc Inc.

CGBio secures deals worth W50b at Paris medical research conference
CGBio, a Korean medical device firm and an affiliate of Daewoong Pharmaceutical, said Friday it has secured contracts worth 50 billion won ($38 million) at the International Master Course on Aging Science 2025, a medical research conference held in Paris early this month. CGBio signed major supply agreements with partners across Latin America, Europe and the Middle East to supply the products it showcased at the IMCAS 2025, held in Paris from Jan. 31 to Feb. 1. In detail, the Korea firm inked a 15 billion won deal to provide surgical suture LUXX to the Cimed Group, the fourth-largest pharmaceutical firm in Brazil, for three years. A 17.3 billion won supply contract was also signed for CGBio's dermal fillers Faceteam, AiLEENE and Giselleligne with partners from 18 countries, including the UK, Italy, Portugal, Greece and Saudi Arabia. During the IMCAS Open Stage ― an industry sponsored lectures session ― the company introduced the latest full-body regeneration therapy technique with calcium hydroxyapatite fillers instructed by Renato Pazzini, a Brazilian dermatologist. The company also shared different medical treatment cases in the Euro-Middle Eastern program, 'Meet the Master,' penetrating state-of-the-art beauty and plastic surgery trends and aesthetic techniques. 'Through this event, we were able to witness our global competence,' said the CEO of CGBio, Yu Hyun-seung. 'We will continue to expand our scope in terms of research and development along with global network, leading the future cosmetic surgery market.' CGBio plans to scout new agents in the coming years, actively develop products tailored to the latest trends and strengthen marketing strategies.
