Congratulations To All Of The 2016 Winners! The Del Rio News-Herald’s ‘Del Rio’s Best’ Reader’s Choice Awards have quickly become one of the area’s most prestigious forms of community recognition. Although, the results are not scientific, businesses are proud of the attention and honor that comes from being voted one of the top businesses in Val Verde County. The awards are based on raw results taken from print ballots collected for the purpose of recognizing those businesses that receive the most votes. While our goal is to get a fair representation of the opinions of our readers, we do not verify each vote for authenticity. We simply present the result in a fair manner for which the votes were cast. The tabulations are done to show the top three businesses that received votes. In a category where there were many businesses that received votes, it is possible we show less than the top 3. This program is not in any manner an endorsement by this newspaper or our staff about any business or the services they provide. We hope you enjoy looking through the results and thank you for your participation. Congratulations to all those businesses recognized and everyone that works hard to make Del Rio such a wonderful place to live, work and raise a family.
