Deadline approaches for voting in ‘Best of Citrus Heights’ contest

Sentinel staff report–
The deadline is Sept. 5 for community members to vote online for their favorite local businesses and restaurants to win this year’s “Best of Citrus Heights” contest.

The annual contest is orchestrated by the Citrus Heights Chamber of Commerce and seeks to honor the best local businesses, based on community votes.

Voting began this year on Aug. 6 and will remain open through Sept. 5. Business categories include everything from “Best Publication,” “Best House of Worship,” “Best Beverage & Food,” and “Best Community Organization,” to “Best Entertainment Venue” and “Best Funeral Services.”

Businesses that are already registered members of the Chamber of Commerce will be automatically listed. Residents can also nominate businesses not currently listed.

Winners are chosen by community members by filling out an online voting ballot form. Only one person is allowed to cast a vote per I.P. address, according to the Chamber’s website.

This year’s “Best of Citrus Heights” awards will be presented at an awards event on Sept. 19 at 5:30 p.m. at the Citrus Heights Community Center. The event will include door prizes, a barbecue dinner, entertainment and an awards ceremony.

Readers can submit their vote for favorite businesses and services at www.bestofcitrusheights.org. The Citrus Heights Sentinel can be found under the “Best Publication” and “Best Photographer/Videographer” categories.
