of the Best titles being awarded annually. The popularity of this readers’ choice contest has been so immense that Shaw Local has expanded it to more than a dozen Illinois newspapers within its network.TheBest of the Fox special section is not only a way of unveiling the winners to our readers, but also a way for businesses to thank their customers for those votes. For being named Best or One of the Best, businesses receive a certificate and may purchase banners, window clings, car magnets and plaques to promote their victories. What started as a contest just for fun has become an important marketing tool for local businesses and an anticipated section for readers every year.

– Laura Shaw is the Publisher Manager of the Northwest Herald
Two decades ago, an idea was proposed in the advertising department of the Northwest Herald. Could a contest be developed that would allow readers to vote for their favorite restaurants, retailers and service providers in McHenry County? How would we get it to our readers, and what would it be called?
Fast forward to the present day. The Best of the Fox contest has been held online for many years, containing over 150 categories and more than 450 Best and One
To our 2022 winners, we congratulate and encourage you to keep up the good work! You help make McHenry County a great place to live and work.
To our readers, we thank you for taking the time to cast votes and make your voices heard. Although times continue to be difficult, we ask that you support our Best of the Fox businesses, and all businesses across McHenry County. If you are looking for a suggestion for a place to eat or an item to buy, or are in need of a personal or professional service, use this section as your guide. You’ll be glad you did!
The possibility that this contest could be launched by our sister newspaper, the Kane County Chronicle, was also something to consider. We wanted to create a name that could encompass both McHenry and Kane counties. One thing the regions had in common? The Fox River. And so, the Best of the Fox Readers’ Choice Awards wasInborn.those days, the internet wasn’t as important a part of daily life as it is now. Facebook was yet to be invented, and there wasn’t a website for anything and everything. It was decided that a full-page newspaper ballot would be created containing several categories and spaces to write in choices. A reader would complete and mail it to us, which meant Northwest Herald staff had to tabulate those votes. Manually. Although not the easiest to manage, we were able to make it work. Once we found a way to move the contest online, we did.

Unique reasons to shop at small businesses
One of the Best
Doing for others certainly has an impact on the person on the receiving end, but also benefits the do-gooders. A November 2020 survey by Union Bank found that 72 percent of Americans said supporting small businesses was more important than getting the best deals. That may be due to the feeling of helping out a neighbor.
Shopping at small businesses keeps those establishments afloat, and it also keeps their employees afloat. Small businesses are the largest employers in the United States. A person may never know when he or she – or a relative – will need a job. Keeping small businesses viable provides a strong job market for locals.

The numbers don’t lie. Locally owned businesses may be classified as “small,” but they have a big impact on the national economy. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics’ Business Employment Dynamics report, small businesses created 10.5 million net new jobs between 2000 and 2019, accounting for 65.1 percent of net new jobs created since 2000 in the United States.Supporting locally owned businesses is a great way to support a neighbor, but that’s not the only attraction. Here are several reasons to shop small.
• The Running Depot
• Julie Michelle Cakes
• Antiques & Eclectics
These are just a few of the many reasons to seek out small businesses when in need of products or services.
