From Rookie of the Year to the newly introduced UG Cup, HVA honored its top franchisees at the Annual Convention last week. The evening's greatest honor belonged to Toni and Brownie Lott of Lott's Alamo City in San Antonio, TX.

"I'm completely shocked," said Toni D'Angelo-Lott after she received the award. "I just want to say that everyone in this room has a wonderful and beautiful thing here. I know that this business isn't easy. But I know that we have each other. And we cherish each and every one of you."
