Over the last few weeks, we asked you to share your favorite hot spots. From favorite photographers, pizza, dance classes, and farms- you guys showed up for your local favorites! The nominations were counted and now it's time to vote on the finalists. Have your voice heard and help us crown the 2024 "Most Loved Businesses"!
What are Family Favorite Awards?
It's no secret we love small businesses here at Macaroni KID and we want to recognize all the hard work, dedication, and services they provide to our community. Family Favorite Awards will be given to businesses in a variety of categories in our area. These awards are given based 100% on number of votes from local families and are a true reflection of our areas most loved businesses and services. Businesses can't pay to be nominated or for votes, so it's all up to their loyal customers to help them win! Click here to cast your ballot.
Why Should I Participate? How Can I Help My Favorites Win?
Small businesses are the life blood of our communities- let's #supportlocal! The Family Favorite Awards are a 100% free opportunity to give your local neighbors a much appreciated boost. Remember, when you support a local business an actual person does a little happy dance- imagine what it would mean to a business to receive the honor of "Most Loved Local Business" to cap off 2024! In addition to helping businesses, participation helps out fellow parents who are looking for family fun of their own.
Casting a ballot is an important step to helping a business be crowned "Most Loved", but you can also help by sharing out this contest with family and friends, and posting to your social media (tag the business so they know you're thinking of them!).
