2018 READERS’ CHOICE AWARDS

BALLOTS, BALLOONS AND BUSINESS ….OH MY!! A general observation made by people who don’t live or work in Fauquier County is that there is nothing to do. Fauquier Times readers know better. For the last few weeks, hundreds of readers voted in the inaugural Fauquier Times Readers’ Choice Awards. Ballots were distributed in the newspaper and online. And now the votes are in. It’s certainly been an exciting undertaking for all of us. Almost overwhelming right from the beginning. That feeling you might have had when you first saw the ballot with all those categories. Seemingly endless as you plowed through. But the truth is, you can’t help but get caught up in the buzz and the strong feelings on who you think the best is- so plowed ahead you did. The series of promotional ads by our own internet sensation, Sawyer Guinn. Eyeing the participant numbers spike in the closing hours of voting. Watching as staff blew up balloons for delivery to the winners. And, of course, seeing the reactions of some of the winners and witnessing almost 200 people on the courthouse steps Monday morning, when the clouds broke for a few sunny moments and allowed us to get a monumental photo of our community. We’ve talked on our Editorial page of the role of a community newspaper: It shines a light on its residents. And what a warm and wonderful light to shine on the best our community has to offer. To provide a vehicle through which our readers could recognize the best of the best. It’s truly a special thing to be a part of. And, the result? When it comes to Fauquier County, our readers know this community has much to offer. When it comes to food and drink, for example, Fauquier has got you covered. Delicious Asian, Mexican and Italian restaurants. A top-notch bakery in Red Truck. Check out the best brunch at Claire’s, also the choice place to take a date and where you can also sample the best martini. Or if wine is more your style, head over to Barrel Oak, voted best winery, or to Galloping Grape, voted best wine store, to stock your cellar.
Fauquier readers have plenty of ideas for your entertainment, as well. Fancy an art gallery, festival, or museum? Perhaps you are looking for something athletic? A hike, round of golf, or even a skydiving adventure? Find it all in Fauquier. And when it comes to retail: Furniture, flowers, antiques, pets, cars, and of course, riding clothes and tack shop. Readers also have suggestions for services. Who better to ask when it comes to searching for a plumber, lawn care, roofer? Or a doctor or lawyer? And, of course, our furred and feathered friends. We thank our readers for taking time to fill out ballots, we know there were a lot of categories. And for their sense of humor, too, which maybe be why some of the n/a responses morphed into “dunno.” A few more fun responses included Saul Goodman for best lawyer and President Trump for best local TV personality. And when it came to best politician, a thought possibly echoed by many in these trying times: “Really? Are you kidding?” No! Our readers had choices for best local politician. And activist, blogger, and website, too. The inaugural Readers’ Choice awards are a testament to the fabric of the county. Pulling all of that together, though a labor of love, was a lot of work. But all of that represents just a fraction of the work each winner put into their business every day, providing a product and service so valued by their customers that they would take time out of their own busy schedules to fill out a ballot in hope of giving some recognition. We are proud to play a role in recognizing these fine businesses, but make no mistake, these awards are the choice of our readers. The people of Fauquier County. Congratulations. – Chris Six

Arts and Entertainment A rural community can seem a long, long way from the excitement of a city, or even the suburbs. But often, it’s just a matter of being in the know. And our readers know there is a lot going on in their community, no matter what entertains you. From hiking at White Oak Canyon to golf at Fauquier Springs, art galleries and museums, there is much to do in Fauquier.
