WE WANT TO THANK OUR COMMUNITY FOR VOTING US BEST FUNERAL HOME ONE MORE TIME!
Welcome to the Best of Pajaro Valley There are no shortage of services available in the Pajaro Valley. From auto body repair, to banks, hair stylists and everything in between and beyond, we don’t have to look far to find the service we need. Sorting out the best of the best, however, is the challenge. That’s where you, the readers, came in. And in a big way. During a month when the ballot was published in every issue of the Register-Pajaronian, we received thousands of submissions from readers eager to let us and the entire Pajaro Valley know just where the best places to shop, dine and play are.
With more than 70 categories, you told us where the best place to give Mittens a groom, what restaurant has the best lunch menu, or what the best local event is. In this issue, we unveil the best of the best, as determined by the readers. Thanks to you, the readers, for participating in this annual exercise of determining the best of the best. And thanks to the advertisers for recognizing the community’s efforts by expressing their gratitude. Remember, shop local to support local businesses and local people who make the community a better place for all.
