'Best' voting now underway

Which businesses are the Best of Bonner County?

That's up to the community to decide. To vote for your favorite person or business, go online to bit.ly/BestOfBonnerCounty2023 and vote today.

Polls are now open and will close on Friday, July 20. Winners will be announced in late August in a special edition of the Bonner County Daily Bee.

The Best of Bonner County is a chance for the community to recognize and show support for our local businesses, Kari Packer, Hagadone News Network regional ad director, said.

"This is our opportunity to recognize our business community," she added.

During the nomination process, the community voted for their favorite businesses in each category. The top five nomination recipients for each category appear on the final ballot. The community now has a chance to vote for their favorites in all of the categories.

The Best of Bonner County platform enables the Bonner County Daily Bee to monitor unfair voting participation. It also ensures the contest results "100% reflect the voice of the community," she added.

The Bee is honored and excited to launch the Best of 2023 and looks forward to sharing the results with the community at the end of August.
