2021 BEST OF THE LAKES REGION

Welcome Back

It’s a popular theme, this side of the pandemic, to say “welcome back.” But like most of us in the Lakes Region… we never left. Through it all, our local businesses have maneuvered through federal, state, and local guidance. We could not be more excited to share with you all the people and places our audience has voted BEST! This marks our third year that we have asked individuals and businesses to nominate and vote for their favorites. Between March 2 and March 12, we received over 2,127 nominations in 183 categories from business owners and their fans.

Voting was open from April 13 through April 30, when we received 198,179 votes, 27% more than 2020. Votes were cast by 34,778 unique voters, which is 25% more than 2020.

There were 1,247 individuals and businesses competing, and we are excited to present 249 individuals and companies, awarding Gold and Silver in the 183 categories.

The top ten categories represented 23% of the votes this year. In ranking order, they were Customer Service, Real Estate Agent, Hair Salon, Lunch Spot, Real Estate Team, All-Around Restaurant, Place to Work, Place to Buy a Gift, Live Theatre, and Bank/Credit Union.

The Lakes Region continues to see engagement through mobile devices. Of the votes cast, 63% were from a smart phone, 32% from desktop, and 5% from a tablet. Reaching our digital mobile market has never been more important and through The Laconia Daily Sun and Best of the Lakes Region, we deliver!

We know that this has been a challenging year, and we also recognize that some local businesses made the tough decision to close. Others have reimagined how business will be accomplished, and several have opened for the first time. The pandemic has forever shaped how we all approach business.

Producing a contest this size takes a dedicated local team and committed businesses.

We are humbled and honored that the Bank of New Hampshire, along with all our advertising partners, makes this possible.

We could not bemore proud to salute and pay tribute to the great businesses that were voted best in their individual categories. Thank you to everyone who took the time to vote. We encourage you to explore the new BestoftheLakesRegion.com and engage with our winners. Some may be familiar, and some may be new to you. All will welcome your business. Be sure to congratulate them for being voted Best of the Lakes Region.

Visit our website and follow us on social media to keep up with all the news around the Lakes Region.

All The Best!

Sit inside by the fireplace and watch the big screen television. Kids can hang out in the game room. Paquette and Piper built the pub because they “needed a great place to drink.”

Paquette’s parents ran the restaurant, and his brother Annie, of Annie and the Orphans fame, rehearsed there every Wednesday night.

T-BONES Great American Eatery serves their very own reserve premium choice steaks.

They work harder, and diners can taste the difference. When they say it is homemade, they mean made-from-scratch recipes in their own kitchens. The Laconia T-BONES opened in 2007. T-BONES Great American Eatery features American cuisine in an inviting, welcoming, and family-oriented atmosphere.
