Letter Editor from the
2020 has been a difficult year. But hard times often help us appreciate the people, places and things that matter most. And in these times, it is more important than ever to focus on the local businesses that help our community thrive. So it is an honor for The Journal to present the winners of the annual Best Of Cortez & Montezuma County. In July, we asked readers and residents of the Four Corners to consider nominating local businesses that provide top-notch service in categories from automotive to health and wellness. After three weeks of nominations, readers placed the top nominees on the ballot list. Those nominees competed for the top three places in the reader’s choice contest. The results determined the people and places featured in this section deserve our recognition. And we want to extend our appreciation to them for their support as well. While we typically gather for a fun evening of socializing to celebrate our winners, we realize that hosting the annual Best Of Recognition Party would be inappropriate during the pandemic.
To celebrate the local business owners and keep our community safe, The Journal will present each business that placed in the top three with a Winner’s Package. The package will include a special award for business owners from The Journal, a coupon for a snack-size popcorn courtesy of Durango Popcorn Depot and a Best Of branded pint glass. Winners may pick up the certificate and Winner’s Package at The Journal office Monday through Friday between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. Though we will miss celebrating with you in style this year, we look forward to seeing your smiling faces again soon. In the meantime, browse the best, most comprehensive list of local businesses that offer incredible products and superior service. To review the winners on-the-go, go to www.thejournal.com/2020/ bestof and bookmark the site for easy access.
