The Best of Monroe County
2012
A publication of
The votes have been cast and counted and now it is time once again to reveal the winners of the annual Reader's Choice Awards.
These awards honor the best in Monroe County. Even though this special section is produced by The Advocate & Democrat, the winners are just what the name of this section says they are: the READER'S choice.
Our readers, citizens of Monroe County and the customers of hundreds of local businesses, have cho-sen the winners by casting their vote on Facebook or by returning the ballot. The voting for this annual award section began in April and the ballots were counted after the close of the voting period.
We at The Advocate & Democrat would like to thank all the businesses and voters who have partici-pated in making the 2012 awards another great success. Congratulations to all the winners!
