PUBLISHER'S PEN
Best of Fayetteville: Make Your Vote Count
by BILL BOWMAN
Nothing speaks louder and with more authority than an
unsolicited recommendation
that your business or
organization has been
celebrated locally as the bestof-the-best.
That's right, The Best of
Fayetteville is back. For the
16th year in a row, Up &
Coming Weekly will carry on
this Fayetteville tradition —
and you and the residents of
Fayetteville and Cumberland
County will again play an
integral role in the process. In
this edition, you will find the
2013 Best of Fayetteville ballot
with more than 130 categories
of businesses, services,
organizations and qualityof-life venues that define our
community.
Don't worry, you don't need
to pass judgment on all 130
categories. Comment on as
many as you like. It takes only
15 to qualify and validate the
ballot. Your submission enters
you into a drawing for a chance
to win $100. In addition, to
accommodate our thousands of
online subscribers, the ballot is
available electronically at www.
upandcomingweekly.com.
Being recognized in the Best of Fayetteville has many
tangible, valuable and long-lasting rewards for its winners.
That's what makes this annual reader's poll so special.
First, the winners are profiled and showcased in a special
Best of Fayetteville edition of Up & Coming Weekly. This
special edition is then provided free of charge to residents and
area newcomers all year long.
It is also posted online for the
entire year with each winner
hyperlinked directly back
to its own website. Winners
also receive a 2013 Best of
Fayetteville window decal and
a beautiful plaque presented at
our famous (some would say
infamous) Best of Fayetteville
party. The party, planned
for Sept. 17 at Fayetteville's
newest downtown restaurant
and sports bar The TapHouse
at Huske, gives us a chance
to publicly recognize the
businesses and people who
make our community so great!
The Best of Fayetteville
party will be hosted by Josh
and Tonya Collins, Beasley
Broadcasting, The Trophy
House, Brainbox Inc., Utley
& Knowles CPAs and the
Fayetteville Regional Chamber
of Commerce. Oh, and of
course, the staff of Up &
Coming Weekly.
Sound like fun? It all starts
with your vote.
So, mark your calendars
for our 16th Annual Best of
Fayetteville celebration Sept.
17, at The TapHouse at Huske where music,
fun, food, prizes and surprises come together to
celebrate the best-of-the-best. Thank you, for
reading Up &
BILL BOWMAN, Publisher. Up & Coming
Coming Weekly.
