A
fter an exciting and wildly successful format change to this year’s Readers’ Choice Awards, the votes have all been counted and Sand Springs Leader readers have spoken! Peruse through the following pages and learn who is the best of the best in 2016 according to you, our beloved reader. You came out (well you went online) in droves to express your valued opinion. We were exclusively “sit on the couch in pajamas if you want” voter friendly this year! From Gift Shops to Hair Salons to Healthcare to BBQ to Auto Repair to Banks to Plumbing...this year’s categories ran the gamut and your voice has been heard loud and clear causing a ripple effect through-out our community. And that’s a
great thing! On behalf of the entire Sand springs leader team, a hearty congratulations and well done to this year’s winners! And best wishes to the runners-up next time as they strive to unseat this year’s winners. Oh and come on, all you folks who were nominated! It says a ton that your customers/clients thought enough of you to take the time to ensure you were part of this new process! Good luck next year as you endeavor to take it to the next level…and win! Lastly, a very special thanks to you, the reader, who took the time to nominate and vote! We at your friendly hometown newspaper value every
chance we have to engage with and hear from you. This is a very special promotion for not just the winners, runners-up and nominees, but for us as well because we get the opportunity to work with and hear from so many of YOU. After all and at the end of the day, we do what we do for you… our reader. And that’s a REALLY great thing! Best, Vic Bailey, Ad Director P.S. When you get a chance, go by and congratulate these businesses at their locations, won’t you? And when you do, shop there or use their services and stay local. No need to go anywhere else with talent like this!
