Welcome to Readers’ Choice.

Welcome to this year’s magazine highlighting the winners of the Bulletin Readers’ Choice awards for 2021.

It is our annual contest with some of our winners dating back to 2011. Our contest is voted on and selected by you and all the other readers of the Bulletin, both in print and online. In this year’s voting we had higher participation with more votes cast than ever before — over 80,000 votes across many categories.

Every year it is important to us as your local community newspaper to recognize those people, businesses and organizations that our readers choose as the ‘best.’

209 Multimedia Corporation is the leading local media organization in Manteca/Ripon/Lathrop and surrounding communities. Our audience is bigger than ever as we strive to produce content in many forms that is focused on the community that all of us live, work and play in.

We live in a vibrant community with many successes all around us. Especially in this challenging time as local businesses reopen, it is important that all of us patronize local businesses and support our community.

As always we strive to provide content that enlightens, entertains and informs while providing a forum for local conversation about issues and ideas.

We hope you enjoy the format of this magazine and continue to engage with our newspaper and digital platforms.
