Congratulations!
THE SARATOGA REGION
2018
PUBLISHER Chad Beatty
WHO ARE THE BEST OF THE BEST THAT RISE 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.
GENERAL MANAGER Robin Mitchell MARKETING DIRECTOR Chris Bushee ADVERTISING SALES Jim Daley Cindy Durfey
The request was simple: Nominate your favorite businesses in a variety of categories. In May, the nomination and voting process began, and the response was overwhelming.
GRAPHIC DESIGN Kacie Cotter-Sacala Morgan Rook
Similar to prior years, this year we had a few new additions as well as a few surprises. 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.
