We are on a roll!
This past year has been challenging for everyone. We are thankful that we are able to recognize creativity and excellence during this unprecedented time. Back on a roll, ShowCase is thrilled that we we now get a chance to highlight the best and brightest in our region. As our nation returns to work and we look back on this past year, it is our honor to rev up the engines and focus on moving forward and celebrating ShowCase Magazine’s Best of 2021 with you, our readers.
The voting process started in March as we turned to you, our loyal reader, and asked you to cast your vote for the Best in 51 categories. Votes poured in for everything from shopping to healthcare, cuisine and giving back.
In this issue, ShowCase Magazine celebrates our local businesses and organizations and spotlights their efforts during the COVID-19 pandemic while also celebrating the Best in our region as determined by our readers. Our team then compiled the votes for the Best, and those nominees are honored in this issue.
We invite our readers to seek these organizations out and congratulate them on their success and being voted the Best of 2021. Whether you are reading this in print, online or on social media, we invite you to celebrate these businesses and pay them a compliment or simply send them your patronage. Congratulations to the Best of 2021.
Thank you for reading and celebrating with us!
