Congratulations To Our Winners!

TACO presented its annual awards for top parks as well as the association’s Supplier of the Year. “This group of winners is as good as we have ever seen,” said Brian Schaeffer, TACO’s executive director and CEO. “The awards process is extensive; from the submissions the parks and vendors have to submit all the way through to the TACO awards committee that utilizes a thorough set of criteria for judging. Congratulations to one and all.” Awards were presented in the following categories:
