I always look forward to the results of our annual Reader’s Poll as it gives a lot of insight to what people in East County love to do, and where they love to do it. It also gives the community a chance to see what others feel are there favorite places to go, and in many cases gives us a chance to talk about business and non-profits that are important to our readers. And although there are many that receive the top votes each year, there has not been a year that there have not been quite a few surprises.
Over the past year, East County has had expediential growth with many new businesses joining our community, and if you are one that has come to love these businesses it is your chance to help them shine by giving them a vote in our many categories. I know that I have found some great new businesses to eat, get services and be entertained. The wonderful about this growth is that it has not diminished the businesses that have stood the test of time in this region as they still continue to make an impact in our daily lives. That is what this poll is all about, the things around you that make a difference in your daily life, whether it be for well-being, solitude, entertainment, fine dining and comfort food and everything in between that makes your life a better one.
After all, it is your participation in this Reader’s Poll that makes it successful every year. And there is no better recommendation that any organization can get than one that is supported by its community. So take a look at our back page this week, and in weeks to come and fill out the Best of East County form and mail it to our office or stop by yourself and hand deliver it. We love visitors here and we would love to meet you.
