This is the 15th year of The Sentinel’s annual Read ers’ Choice awards that was created to honor the busi nesses and small business owners who are the heart beat of our community.
From July 20-30, we received nearly 60,000 votes on our online ballot. The ballot contained nominees in over 100 categories, as nominated by our readers. We are pleased to publish in this special edition the win
ners as tabulated your votes.
You’ll find the 2022 winners listed in bold with a crown and finalists announced within the pages of this edition as well as online at lewistownsentinel. com/readerschoice. Finalists were voted in the top three of their category and are listed in no particular order of finish.
We congratulate the favorites, as well as the finalists
in each category. It is an honor to be recognized by so many loyal customers. Many businesses took the time and advertising space in this edition to thank their cus tomers for their support.
Congratulations to Shirley Bell of Mifflintown, who was randomly selected from all voters and won $100 courtesy of The Sentinel. Thank you to all who voted and nominated this year.
