Time To Select The Best!
In fact, what better time than the occasion of The North Central News’ 13-year anniversary to roll out our most popular series of the year again - our “Best Of Readers’ Poll�? That’s right, it was 13 years ago this month that local residents received the first-ever issue of The North Central News in their mailboxes. One of the main reasons for the subsequent pattern of growth - in addition to our talented, dedicated staff and our valued advertisers - is the involvement and input from our devoted readers. In short, we love to hear from you. And with our BEST OF series, it’s your chance to recognize the area businesses you know and love in a contest effectively run by the people they care most about: their customers! So take a few moments and fill out the ballot on page 6. There will be some great prizes randomly selected for those who do. Look for the announcement of all the winners - in Jason Paley reacts as he enters the Somers High School gymnasium with his fellow our August edition. classmates during Somers High School’s 2015 Commencement Ceremony in Somers on June 18.
