Guillermo Mash, host and producer of The Chico Vibe on KZFR 90.1FM reveals his picks for "Excellence in 2021."
"I chose people and places I have personally connected with this past year. The list itself was spontaneous, it wasn't as if sat and spent hours. I just thought about it and wrote it down. All of these people had a lasting impression, they had warmth and they were all about community building and imagining and actually doing something better. Everyone on this list."
