LETTER FROM THE EXECUTIVE EDITOR
the best is yet to come
W
elcome to our seventh annual Best of Chatham issue! We are excited to unveil the results of this year’s poll, where readers like you voted for your favorites across nearly 80 categories ranging from dining and services to home & garden, retail and arts & entertainment. Your votes – and enthusiastic participation – have made this issue a celebration of everything that makes Chatham County such a vibrant and unique place to live, work and explore. Check out the winners beginning on page 47. We’ve also expanded our Out & About section this issue to include a special fall arts guide highlighting events, festivals and performances that will keep your calendars full in the coming months – check it out beginning on page 8. For pet lovers, our resource guide on page 100 is packed with everything you need to know to care for your furry friends. I’m particularly excited to share a tour of a remarkable farmhouse in this issue. With its rich history of 130 years (or more!), this beautiful home offers a fascinating glimpse into our county’s architectural past – and how its story continues to unfold today. We hope this issue inspires you to continue supporting local businesses and exploring all the wonderful offerings they have to share with us. And again, thank you for helping to shine a spotlight on the very best of Chatham! cm
