THE BEST OF LIBERTY HILL 2020
We’re Celebrating the Best of the Best of Liberty Hill
Before you begin scouring the list of winners from the 2020 Best of Liberty Hill contest, we would like to say a big thank you to everyone in our great community! This opportunity for The Independent to recognize the people and businesses that represent the best of what our town has to offer would not be possible without two things – the businesses and people who inspire us to vote, and the love of community we all share. Participation was so high in the second year of the contest that we could barely believe it ourselves. This year’s contest totaled 985 ballots cast, covering more than 100 categories. In the end, more than 50,000 votes were cast on those ballots for different people, business and foods. To put that in perspective, the last five City of Liberty
Hill elections – dating back to 2013 – have only drawn 709 voters total. As the community’s newspaper, we’re very proud to honor these winners who have earned the right to be called The Best of Liberty Hill. All of them have touched someone or made an impression that makes them worthy of this high praise. These are our friends and neighbors, our business partners and those we count on for everything from financial advice to a helping hand when needed. They make our favorite foods and provide the best service. They are what make Liberty Hill a special place. Thank you for celebrating with us the best of our community. If you know the winners, make sure and congratulate them. If you don’t know them, this is a perfect opportunity to
learn more about what makes doing business with, or being involved with, these people and businesses so special to so many in the community. In the coming days, look for The Best of Liberty Hill window cling on the doors or windows of our winners. For those winners who were so humbled by our readers’ vote of confidence that they chose to support this publication with advertising, special thanks goes to you for helping the newspaper deliver this news to the community. We appreciate the business community for supporting local journalism, and helping us make a difference in our hometown. Congratulations! You’re the Best! ~ Shelly Wilkison Owner/Publisher
