People clearly want to know who and what local residents feel are the “best.” It is why they search on the internet and read customer reviews. But, unfortunately, those results are often skewed by scammers and firms that assist with “reputation management.” 

So, how does one truly know who or what is the best locally? We created a way to uncover those answers last year with our Best of Guthrie County poll, and we are pleased to bring it to you again.

Yes, it is round 2 of this fun competition, and, as I stated last year, it is important to note that the winners are not based on our opinions but are the results of the votes of our readers. That is an important distinction the naysayers often miss. 

The poll and its categories will certainly change in years to come, but our second effort is much like our first. You will once again have 82 categories to vote in. Best pizza. Best pastor. Best park. You get the idea. Simply fill in the blanks in one category or all 82.

The poll will be promoted in our publications, emails, social media and mailers to encourage widespread participation throughout the county. Please take the time to vote and share the link with your family, neighbors, co-workers and anyone in Guthrie County and encourage them to do the same. Last year, a total of 471 votes were cast in this poll, and we hope to exceed that this year. 

We make voting incredibly easy. You can choose to vote in just one category, or you can vote in all 82. But, just like the political elections, once you submit your choices, you can’t go back. In case you are wondering, we catch the cheaters who try to vote more than once and throw those votes out, so don’t even try. Click here for the poll rules and the link to vote. 

I thank you in advance for voting and for helping us to recognize the people, places, businesses and events that make Guthrie County so great. 

Thanks for reading.
