LOCALS CHOICE 2015 Complete Ballot We want your vote!
We want to thank the hundreds of readers that took the time to submit nominations for our first LOCALS CHOICE edition. Your submissions were used to create this ballot. Readers are now invited to vote online and will have a chance to win a $200 gift certificate to any LOCALS CHOICE winning business they choose. From the beginning it was our hope to have your favorite local businesses, chosen by local readers, get recognized for the hard work they put into developing the services that keep us coming back. More than 400 readers participated, submitting nominations for more than 100 categories. This was narrowed down to the top few submissions in each category to create the final ballot presented here. Readers will see many well-known local businesses. A few have built such a follow-
ing they appear in several categories. You may be reminded of some old favorites you have not visited in a while. We hope you find time to visit them again soon. Likewise, in going through the ballot you may discover a few places destined to become new favorites. Voting is quick and easy. Simply visit www.suffolknewsherald.com and click on the LOCALS CHOICE 2015 tab at the top of the page or on any of the LOCALS CHOICE promotional spots. Voting is open through Sept. 4. Winners will be announced in a special edition planned for Sept. 30. Please take a few minutes to go online and enter. Your favorite local businesses need your vote, and you might win $200 for voting too! John Carr Publisher
