HIGH POINT – The inaugural High Point Market Community Impact Award sculpture will make its debut on Friday, Dec. 8, at 12 p.m. at 98 Asian Bistro, 1800 N. Main St. in High Point. The High Point Market Authority team and local sculpture artist, Justin Stabb, as well as the staff from 98 Asian Bistro, will be on-hand for the event.
“We are very proud to acknowledge Tu and Todd Sen and their staff as the first recipients of our Community Impact Award,” said Tammy Nagem, CEO of High Point Market Authority. “They make not only their local guests, but also the global visitors of the semi-annual High Point Market feel welcomed and special. Plus, they are outstanding ambassadors for the best our community offers. For many market attendees, a delicious dinner at 98 Asian Bistro is one of their top priorities while they are in town every April and October.”
The Community Impact Award was created by the HPMA to recognize local businesses or individuals for their positive impact on the twice-yearly Market and on the city of High Point overall.
As recipient of the High Point Market Community Impact Award, 98 Asian Bistro will receive a 5-foot-tall stainless-steel custom-designed HPMKT signature sculpture to display at their business. The award was designed and fabricated by local artist, Justin Stabb, owner of Stabb Designs. The HPMA says it worked with Stabb to develop a piece that represents the creative spirit of High Point with the interconnected nature of the city and High Point Market.
“98 Asian Bistro is just the first of many partners that we plan to recognize with this goodwill award,” Nagem said. “We hope that restaurant patrons will share selfies of themselves with the sculpture on social media to help spread the news about this well deserving award that 98 Asian Bistro received.”
The High Point Market Authority is the official sponsor and organizer of the High Point Market in High Point, N.C.
