Awards season is wrapping up, which means all those movie stars, TV icons, and red carpet pros can finally take a break from their fancy outfits. But don’t worry… the real awards have been happening right here at MAFB.
That’s right, we’re talking about the 4th Annual Best of Minot Air Force Base Awards, hosted by the Northern Sentry!

Every year, nominations roll in and votes are cast to decide the best of the best: restaurants, hangouts, nightlife, schools, and more, both on base and around Minot. We asked YOU what makes life here special, and you delivered.
Now… we do have some repeat champions. Ahem… Minotauros. But honestly, can we blame you? Fun, affordable, and great for the whole family, we get it. Still, there are always a few surprises that keep things interesting!
At the end of the day, this is our favorite part, seeing what you all truly love (and maybe what you don’t ). It helps us serve you better while giving some well-deserved recognition to the standout spots in our community.
Huge thanks to everyone who nominated and voted! And congratulations to all our winners!
We’ll catch you next year for another round of Awards Season: Minot Edition.
