Last night we attended the 5th annual Baltimore Sun Mobbie Awards, and as usual the event was a blast. The networking reception and awards ceremony were held downtown at the Creative Alliance, a community based non-profit organization that presents and promotes all genres of art in Baltimore.

Drinks where flowing and sushi (from the delicious RA Sushi) was enjoyed during the 6:30 – 7:30 networking reception. We had the chance to catch up with members of Maryland blogging community as well as take in some of the art exhibits on display.

The awards ceremony was a blast.  Emceed by Baltimore Sun’s at Michael Gold and Julie Scharper they got the crowd warmed up with a hilarious video about prepping for “mobbies season”.

1 winner was selected from each of the 22 categories, and accepted their award on stage. Samuelson’s Diamonds was in the category Best Organization/Company Blog and we were up against some of the best. The winner in our category was the National Aquarium WATERblog. Samuelson’s ranked in the top ten for our category so thank you to everyone who voted for us.
