Best of the Best
By Rick Lubbers Executive Editor
It’s hard to believe that this is the seventh year of the News Tribune’s Best of the Best contest, where members of our community nominate and vote for the best of what the Northland has to offer.
And there’s a lot to choose from:
This year, The Best of the Best contest generated 42,530 nominations and 89,135 votes from 6,129 people.
Thanks to all who nominated and voted!
We’re proud to award first-place winners with an engraved acrylic plaque from sponsor Footprint Promotional Advertising, along with a printed certificate for framing. Second-place winners will receive a printed certificate.
We’re looking forward to celebrating
with you! The Best of the Best Award Pickup Celebration will be held from 4-7 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 20, at the Bent Paddle’s Outdoor Plaza. That event will be held, rain or shine.
We’d love to see all of the first- and second-place winners attend the celebration, so that you can receive your awards promptly.
Thanks, again, to all who participated in the 2023 Best of the Best contest, and congrats to all of the winners and those who received votes.
