Please make sure to stop by Caffeine & Chaos and send your prayers and support for Grayson and his family. The unexpected loss of a child is absolutely devastating our thoughts and prayers are with Tabitha Crandall.

We're open today. 🤍

I never imagined I would be writing a post like this, or that coming back to Caffeine & Chaos would feel this hard.

Today is my first day back after losing my 17-year-old son, Grayson.

If you knew Grayson, you probably know he had his favorites — and at the shop, his was a Bourbon Caramel Latte. 🤎

So today, that's the drink I'm featuring.

Grayson's Bourbon Caramel Latte
His drink. His favorite. 🤍

I'm not sure what returning to “normal” looks like right now. I'm just taking it one day at a time and doing the best I can.

Thank you for the messages, prayers, love, patience, and support you've shown our family. I may not be able to respond to everyone, but please know that I see it and I appreciate it more than I can put into words.

We're here today. Come see us. 🤍

This year, our sponsors earned a little more recognition.

On the sponsorship deadline, after expenses had already been planned and commitments made, one sponsor unexpectedly withdrew their sponsorship. It created a significant last-minute financial gap and placed portions of the 2026 Best In View Gala and awards at risk.

And that experience reminded us of something important:
A commitment means the most when keeping it isn’t convenient.

So we made the decision to upgrade the sponsorship benefits for the businesses that DID remain committed.

The businesses featured in this video followed through. They stood behind their word, behind Best In View, behind their community, and behind an event created to recognize the people and businesses making a difference in our community.

When one commitment disappeared, theirs became even more meaningful.

So this years video may be a bit longer but it’s in appreciation to our 2026 sponsors who showed up for our community: your support did not go unnoticed. Your reliability did not go unnoticed. And your willingness to stand behind what you committed to certainly did not go unnoticed.

We wanted to make sure the recognition you receive reflects that.

Thank you for being the businesses we could count on.
