K_\ i\jlckj Xi\ `e The results are in! We proudly present you with the 2015 Daily Press Readers’ Choice Poll. You’ll find in this highly anticipated section a long list of the ‘Best of the Best’ businesses, people, places and things as chosen by you, our loyal readers.

As in years past, nominations were solicited in December in both our print newspaper and online at VVDailyPress.com. Once the votes were tallied, the top nominees in each category were entered into the final voting stage. This year we received over 4,000 votes from our readers! You’ll see many of your past winners and favorites, along with some surprises and newcomers to Best of the Desert. Results are listed in order of the number of final votes received, but the ‘Best of’ honor belongs to all of our Top Three (or Four in the case of ties) vote recipients because they are truly ‘The Best’ with everyone who voted for them in their respective categories.

Whether you’re a newcomer to the High Desert or a longtime resident, this guide is your treasure map to the jewels in our community. Please join us as we congratulate all of our welldeserved honorees. And a special ‘Thank You’ to all of our readers who took the time to participate and make this issue once again, the BEST ever!
