To receive a Reader’s Choice Award is
very special. This isn’t a “check a box” vote.
Our readers had to write or type in the
name of the business or person they chose to
nominate. For our readers to take the time to
fill out a survey means a Reader’s Choice
Award honors the best of the best.
On behalf of the Valley Morning Star
and our readers, congratulations to all those
organizations selected and thank you to all
the readers who voted.
