W
hile many sectors of our local economy continue to show signs of improvement, it is undeniable that many Ashe County business owners and members of the local workforce continue to face challenges and obstacles to personal and professional success. Yet, those challenges are exactly what makes our annual salute to the “Best of Ashe County” so important. Despite hardships, the businesses we honor during this event each have risen above limitations from the economy and myriad other factors that would otherwise conspire to slow growth, impede customer service and frustrate even the most inspired business leader. It is in honor of these businesses, their owners and their employees that Ashe Mountain Times presents its annual “Best of Ashe County.” But what makes the event truly special is that those being honored are chosen not by a small committee from a newspaper, but from the entire community. It is the readers of Ashe Mountain Times who vote on, and ultimately decide, who earns the “best of” nod. Through the months of October and November, readers submitted thousands of votes for businesses in more than 150 categories, from the best
accountant to the best woman’s clothier. More than 200 finalists assembled Monday, Jan. 26, for the Ashe Mountain Times’ “The Best of Ashe County” in a red carpet luncheon co-sponsored by SkyLine/SkyBest and LifeStore in Hensley Hall at West Jefferson United Methodist Church. The keynote speaker was Ashe County High School Athletic Director Marc Payne — a popular choice, given the number of lives he has inspired and mentored during his long years coaching and directing sports in Ashe County. Awards were presented by Ashe Mountain Times general manager Rex Goss and Mountain Times Publications advertising director Charlie Price. It is truly an honor to be named the best of what you do, but when that honor comes from your customers, it is one that is unparalleled. In turn, it is our honor to present within these pages a salute to the best of Ashe County. In addition to this special section, also look for a story and more photos in today’s Ashe Mountain Times and on our website, www.ashemountaintimes.com. Also, watch for the recorded program on SkyLine/SkyBest cable TV at 8 p.m. Friday and 9 p.m. Sunday. Ashe County, we salute you: Through hard work and concern for our community, each business found here has earned our respect and admiration.

Ashe County, N.C. is a wonderful place 2014 to live. The towns and communities in which we live are safe places that provide a traditional and welcoming quality of life for our children and ourselves. We are also blessed to live in an area that is surrounded by beautiful scenery. Ashe is also home to many dedicated, high quality, productive and diverse businesses where many of us shop and work. These businesses provide every service imaginable from groceries, medical supplies, automobiles, and the electricity that powers our homes. During November 2014, the Ashe Mountain Times surveyed its readers, asking them to select who they felt was 2014’s “Best of Ashe”. The votes have now been counted and we are happy to present you with the results. As with any survey of this type, not every business or business category could be covered. There are many outstanding independent businesses and service providers not represented in the results; we salute them as well. We appreciate all of our readers who took the time out of their day to fill out our survey. Within these pages many of the businesses selected have chosen to publish ads, thanking the readers for picking them and displaying their products and services. We encourage all readers to read these ads and witness first hand the many services and products offered in Ashe. We also encourage our readers to shop in Ashe County with neighbor businesses and help us “KEEP OUR CASH IN ASHE.” Shopping locally boosts our economy, provides jobs and makes life better for all of us who call Ashe County home. So please, always shop locally when you can. Congratulations to all of the businesses selected as one of our 2014 “Best of Ashe” winners. Rex Goss General Manager Ashe Mountain Times
