The votes keep pouring in — and I am not referring to the recent primary elections. Our Best of Guthrie County poll is now up to 383 votes, which surpasses the number cast for any of the candidates in Tuesday’s ballot boxes. I am not sure what that says, but we certainly appreciate your support of the people, businesses, places and events of Guthrie County by voting in our poll.
If you haven’t voted yet, there is still time, as the poll will be open through July 15. There are 82 categories to vote in ranging from best place to take your dog, to best plumber, to best dinner spot. You can even vote for best teacher, best coach and, yes, best elected official.
If you are curious about the leaders so far, I will give you a few examples, in no particular order. Keep in mind the results can — and will — change by July 15.
