We had new nominations and new winners in many categories highlighting hundreds of fantastic venues and individuals throughout our region. Our winners again are highlighted throughout this special section, as we are sure you will also see them proudly display their awards on their windows claiming their 2023 first-place status. This year we accepted nominations from July 10 to July 31 in 113 categories and the top choices in each category advanced to the voting stage. The voting poll closed on Sept. 8 and the wait is finally over. We have tallied up the votes and this special section reveals the top three choices in each category. Many thanks to everyone who participated in our Best Of Bemidji Area contest again. We hope you enjoy this section and explore the many venues that the Bemidji area has to offer.

“I have worked here for 3 years and when I started at Lueken’s I was at a crossroad in my life. Lueken’s gave me a purpose and opportunity to better myself. I’ve stayed on the right path because of my job and family at Lueken’s.”
“Lueken’s has been a great place for me to learn about work ethic and how a business place works. We are a very supportive and friendly company and I am proud to be able to say that I have worked for a company with the best customer service around!”
“My experience working at Lueken’s for over 8 years has been very positive, I have worked as a carry-out, cashier and front end manager. It has taught me great values, leadership skills, teamwork and self-discipline. Having a disability and working as a manager has posed some challenges I have had to overcome. Working at Lueken’s has given me a great opportunity to learn a lot and be independent.”
“One of the top reasons I like working here is that it is employee owned. Also, I like that management knows my name and I’m not just a number. Our focus on community, family, and employees shows that we care about each other and we want to see everyone succeed.” “Values are not only talked about but are also lived out.” “We have the freedom to work hard, be creative, and the flexibility that allows for team members to grow, pursue goals and advance their positions in life and in the company.”
