The “Best of the Best” contest asked readers of The Beacon to judge the top businesses and business professionals in Ottawa County. There are 35 categories that range from food and drink, general business excellence, entertainment and summer resort businesses.

The contest became popular the moment it was introduced in 2014. The official voting took place online at The Beacon’s website www.thebeacon.net. Voting forms published in the paper for several weeks prior to the voting deadline, which was Sept. 7, were also accepted.
