We asked and you answered by the thousands. And what follows are the top businesses in North Central Connecticut in each of their respective fields. There was nothing high-tech about it. Just our capable staff sorting through the ballots and tallying up the totals with that “four sticks, then a slash” system we all learned in grade school. But when all was counted, we do believe that all of the winners – as well as those who took time to fill out the ballots – should be proud. After all, feedback from critics and peers is always valuable, but a ringing endorsement like this from customers and community members is a true sign a business has reached the highest level of success. So again, congratulations to all of our winners and those who voted to make them winners.
