WHO ARE THE BEST OF THE BEST THAT RISE
The Saratoga Region
ABOVE THE REST?
BEST OF
We answer this question today, in our annual ‘Best of the Saratoga Region’ awards section…but the process began months ago.
PUBLISHER Chad Beatty
GENERAL MANAGER Robin Mitchell
In mid-March we ran a few simple ads in Saratoga TODAY asking for input from our tens of thousands of readers.
MARKETING DIRECTOR
The request was simple: Nominate your favorite businesses in a variety of categories.
Chris Bushee
ADVERTISING SALES
In May, once the nomination process was over, we began the next phase and invited the entire public to vote on their favorite business. The response was overwhelming. Luckily we partnered with ‘Local Living In’ who had automated the entire process with a simple online voting program.
Jim Daley Cindy Durfey Erin Boucher
GRAPHIC DESIGN
Similar to prior years, this year we had a few new additions as well as a few surprises.
Morgan Rook Alyssa Jackson Andrew Ranalli
I know I found a LOT of my favorite businesses on the list and I am sure you will also. So flip the pages, check out the results and go visit a winner that you may not have known about. Thanks for being a part of our contest and congratulations to all the businesses that go above and beyond to make our region a great place to live, work and raise a family.
