Publisher's note: Happy Halloween!

By Faith Hatton, posted 18 minutes ago

Yes, those are decorations currently in my home. Yes, I may have spent more money than average for two oversized mums that are taking up way too much space on my porch, and yes, I may have stood my ground in a Lowe’s hardware store arguing with my husband over an inflatable corgi dressed like a vampire; that is because spooky season is here! 

As the business community prepares to wind down a bit as we enter into Q4, we at the Greater Fayetteville Business Journal are getting ready for some of our biggest events and projects of the year. 

Our annual Health Care Heroes awards will be taking place on Thursday, Nov. 12, for the fourth year! This year’s judging was very tricky, but it was a treat to watch our panel as they displayed passion, provided some great arguments and insights and eventually came up with a list of finalists from around our community. 

We still have some sponsorships available if anyone would like to guarantee a seat for themselves and their team or guests this year! Contact me or marketing@bizfayetteville.com to learn more. 

Research and surveys for our annual Book on Business are also in full swing. Want to experience something really scary? Try opening up our 2027 BoB and not seeing your business listed! Lists are open, and you can provide your business information on our website: www.bizfayetteville.com or contact Simone Johnson at simonej@bizfayetteville. com to make sure you’re included in the 2027 edition! 

We hope you enjoy this issue. We’ve featured a few “Military Focused Businesses” that are working to fuel, support and connect our local military community with the Fayetteville business community. It was a pleasure to spotlight these organizations, and we hope to continue to connect with our military community in 2027 and beyond!
