The votes are IN … and with 384 votes, Versatile Woodwork is officially taking home the traveling trophy! 👏🔥

But here’s the thing…

Every single business that jumped into this challenge won.

They showed up. They got creative. They hyped each other up. They made us laugh. They showed off their businesses, their employees and the ridiculous amount of personality packed into this little town. 😂❤️🤍💙

The trophy is just our way of making sure we get to celebrate one of them a little EXTRA each year. 🏆

And Versatile… your job isn’t over. 👀

As the 2026 champs, Versatile Woodwork gets the honor of officially kicking off the 2027 Gladiolus Days Business Dance Challenge on August 22nd, 2027 … and THEY get to choose the first business to challenge!

Then we do this beautiful small-town chaos all over again. 😂

A new year.
A new challenge.
A new trophy winner.

But one thing is already settled:

St. Charles businesses absolutely understood the assignment. 🌺🔥

Congratulations, Versatile Woodwork… enjoy those bragging rights for the next year. 😎🏆

🌺 OKAY ST. CHARLES… WE’RE DOWN TO THE FINAL HOURS. 🌺

Our Glad Days Business Dance Challenge somehow turned into one of the most ridiculously fun things to come out of this festival, and now YOU get to decide who takes home the trophy. 🏆

The businesses showed up.
The employees committed to the bit.
The community shared, liked, commented and hyped them up every step of the way.

Now there’s only one thing left to do:

VOTE. 👏 FOR. 👏 YOUR. 👏 FAVORITE. 👏

Voting closes Friday at 7:00 AM, and later Friday we are officially crowning the 2026 Glad Days Business Dance Challenge Champion.

If you’ve been waiting to vote… this is your sign. 👀🌺

And may the most unhinged small-town marketing team win. 😂🏆

You’ve got TODAY & TOMORROW to get those votes in for your favorite dance!

🤔 Did your favorite absolutely eat?

Glad Days may be over, but we have a few more things to celebrate before we officially wrap up 2026. 👀🏆

Some support arrives as funding. Some arrives as equipment, materials, space, services…and some arrives as people who simply say, “What do you need?” and jump in. 🌺

There are truly too many people, businesses, organizations, event hosts and in-kind partners to tag individually in this post, and honestly, that says everything about the kind of community that made Glad Days possible.

To every single person who donated something, lent something, hosted something, hauled something, set something up, cleaned something up, opened their doors, volunteered their time or stepped in wherever they were needed:

THANK YOU.

Glad Days doesn’t happen because of one committee or one organization. It happens because an entire community decides to show up.

And you absolutely did. ❤️🌺
