Nominations open for Best of awards
Mar. 15—It is time to showcase local businesses and outstanding customer service all over Walker County. The Huntsville Item is currently taking nominations for its annual reader's choice awards, "Best of the Best."
"This contest highlights our community in the best way, showcasing our local businesses that go the extra mile in delivering great customer service," Item General Manager Traci Gallin said. "These businesses and their owners deserve the recognition and awards from the community for all of their hard work."
Community members have the opportunity to go online through March 22 and nominate local businesses, restaurants and services whom they feel offer the best of the best in our community.
"We look forward to this contest every year to showcase the best of the best in Huntsville and across Walker County," Gallin said. "I am always amazed by the amount of participation received. It's really fun to see everyone rally to support their favorites in Walker County. It's also a great way for members of our community to find out about new or unfamiliar businesses, restaurants and services."
Voters can cast their ballots for nominees in categories that cover everything from services and products to best physician or best hamburger from March 27 through April 7.
All nominees will be businesses or services within Walker County. All participants casting a vote will only be able to vote one time this year.
