Don’t miss your opportunity to vote in Reader’s Choice poll

We Say

The Franklin County Times’ Best of the Best Reader’s Choice Poll has been in full swing, and there are only a few days left to name your choices for your favorite businesses in the Franklin County area.

Through May 5, you still have the opportunity to vote for all your local favorites – from the best barbecue or the best customer service to the best hair salon, the best law firm and many other categories.

This contest is in its fifth year, and it’s now a Franklin County staple. We love being able to shine the spotlight on all the top people and places in our area. Those who win get to shout their recognition from the rooftop, and we know they appreciate the kudos from the customers and patrons they serve – that’s you!

And in case you missed it, don’t forget: Those voted “Best of the Best” aren’t the only winners. You could win, too. Ballot entries that have a minimum of 25 categories filled out will be entered into a drawing for a prize – $150 cash. Entries that are incomplete or do not have complete contact information will not be eligible.

The ballot for this year’s Best of the Best contest is located on pages A4 and A5 of the paper, as well as on our website. The rules for entry are simple: One entry per person will be counted.

Entries must be received by 5 p.m. May 5, completed either online or on the original newsprint form. No photocopied entries are allowed.

Winners will be determined by reader votes and will be announced in June in a special section printed in the Franklin County Times.

Ballots can be mailed to Franklin County Times Best of Contest, P.O. Box 1088, Russellville, AL 35653, or hand-delivered to our office located in the Byars Building in downtown Russellville, 501 N. Jackson Ave., Suite 7.

Now is the time to let your opinion be known.
