Best of the Northland 2019 3
Courier-Tribune ✦ Gladstone Dispatch
Winning ways It’s great to be the bearer of good news. Each summer the staff of the CourierTribune and Gladstone Dispatch have the privilege of announcing the winners of our annual Best of the Northland contest. The list of this year’s honorees fills these pages. You’ll find retailers, service providers, health care professionals, educators, entertainment venues and everything in between — all picked by you, our readers and the patrons of these establishments. In the 29 years of this reader’s choice contest, we’ve made this point before, but we can’t say it enough: Shopping local and supporting local enterprise is key to the ongoing vitality of our Northland community. This list is a testament that “shop local” isn’t just a trendy catchphrase. It’s a way of life. In the spring the Courier-Tribune and Gladstone Dispatch invite our readers vote on their favorite people, places and things in
more than 100 categories. Ballots appear for five weeks in the newspapers and online. This year more than 67,000 votes were cast, and the results show an overwhelming support for the local business community. Once the votes are in, we tally them up and announce the winners at the end of July in this special section. We also host a reception for the winners to celebrate this community-driven recognition. The recognition continues throughout the year as Best of the Northland certificates
and banners are proudly displayed in offices, lobbies, restaurants and shops. The Best of the Northland seal also provides a guide to consumers, who know they can trust the endorsement of their friends and neighbors wherever they see it. As you flip through these pages, each set of winners includes Gold, Silver and Bronze. The listings for Gold winners also include the winner’s address, phone number, website and a photo or logo wherever possible. In some cases, a Gold winner has multiple Northland locations. For these honorees, a street address is not included. Silver winners are designated by a silver four-pointed star. Bronze winners are designated by the same symbol in bronze. We encourage you to try out winners you have not previously patronized and give a second look to winners you already know. Help spread the news of the winning ways of Best of the Northland.

They come into a project, evaluate the needs and created a solution...
