Tonight at the 2013 Toast of Music City reception at the new Music City Center, OTF took 3rd place in the Best Local Blog category, repeating our finish from 2012.
In other Nashville Predators-related categories, Mike Fisher took 1st and Pekka Rinne 3rd as Best Local Pro Athlete (golfer Brandt Snedeker took 2nd), and in the Best Sports Reporter category, Justin Bradford of Penalty Box Radio took 2nd place, just ahead of 102.5 The Game’s Willy Daunic. Harlow Salon, which presented the Hockey & Heels event with the Predators last month, also took 1st place as Best Hair Salon.
