In the third year of voting, the number of votes cast continues to increase in the Hood County News annual poll. This year there were over 65,000 votes cast as compared to just over 50,000 last year.

Ballots to select the top two places in 93 categories were printed in the Hood County News during July with the ballots being counted in August. “With the number of ballots submitted this year topping last year, it was ‘all hands on deck’ in our office to get the votes counted. It took members of virtually every department in our building to get the votes tallied,” said Jerry Tidwell, publisher. The food division drew the largest percentage of votes with over 20,500 votes cast in 22 categories for an average of 935 votes per category.
