The Gilroy Chamber of Commerce hosted a truly exceptional event last night, and we were genuinely honored to participate. The Gilroy Spice of Life Awards was made possible through the sponsorship of Stefanie Okada-McCabe Inc. and the recognition of my parents' business, Banning's Upholstery, with the Small Business Award for the year. It was indeed a memorable evening.

From Stefanie Okada-McCabe Inc. : Congratulations to Savvy's Downtown Sweets . It was a pleasure working with you to design this beautiful space. It's also an honor for the building and business to be recognized by the Gilroy Historical Society & the Gilroy Museum . 👏 👏 👏My parents Upholstery shop (Banning's Upholstery) which used to be across from David Porcella music store. Bannings Upholstery did the outdoor awning for Savvy's Downtown Sweets. Thank you Savannah Wilson-Longenbach for choosing to support local Gilroy businesses like my parents Upholstery shop and my design firm Stefanie Okada-McCabe Inc. . As a Gilroyan and born and raised in this wonderful town it truly was an honor to work on this project. Cheers to many wonderful years to come in good o Gilroy.

From Gilroy Historic Museum: Savannah Longenbach received a Commercial Building Award for Savvy's Downtown Sweets / Porcella's, 7357 Monterey Street, Gilroy.
Porcella's has been a fixture in downtown Gilroy since Charles Porcella fully purchased the building from its original owner, H.L. McDuffie in 1908. Dating from roughly 1880, this outstanding example of brick commercial construction retains most, if not all, of its original design characteristics. The building has led several "lives" as a: saloon, grocery, bakery, clothing, and music store. Ms. Longenbach has reimagined the signage, awning, exterior furniture, and interior to be a 1950s-style ice cream parlor, sweet shop, and soda fountain. The interior has been remodeled to include an imported, mirrored Italian bar, mosaic tiles and an original, 45 RPM jukebox. The business and building are a wonderful addition to a revitalized and growing downtown Gilroy business scene.

Proud parent moment when my daughter plays with her grandpa (my dad) and makes some amazing memories together. I also played with my pickleball friend Emily and we placed 3rd in the 2nd annual pickleball tournament. We had so much fun and we will be back. Thank you!
