Congratulations!
2017
WHO ARE THE BEST OF THE BEST THAT RISE
The Saratoga Region
ABOVE THE REST? We answer this question today, in our annual ‘Best of the Saratoga Region’ awards section…but the process began months ago. In mid-March we ran a few simple ads in Saratoga TODAY asking for input from our tens of thousands of readers. The request was simple: Nominate your favorite businesses in a variety of categories. 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. Similar to prior years, this year we had a few new additions as well as a few surprises.
