Good things last and Up & Coming Weekly's Best of
Fayetteville readership survey is celebrating its 18th
year paying tribute to Fayetteville's Best of the Best.
It is a prestigious
award bestowed once
a year to the best
people, businesses
and organizations
that have contributed
overwhelmingly to
defining excellence in
service, workmanship
and contributions
to the quality of life
of the Fayetteville
and Cumberland
County community.
It's an honor that is
marketed, advertised
and promoted all
year long.
The September 16
Best of Fayetteville
edition of Up &
Coming Weekly will
serve throughout the
year as a priceless newcomer's guide, service directory
and recreation and cultural event resource. Every page
is touting with confidence the Best of the Best of what
the Fayetteville community has to offer.
The rules, format and guidelines of this sanctioned,
time-tested survey are stringent to secure and
maintain the integrity of the program. These rules
are time tested, monitored and audited to provide
residents, local businesses and organizations
the recognition and tribute they deserve for
their dedication and perseverance in their quest
for excellence.
Every category winner has achieved the highest level
of excellence in what they do; and for 18 years we
have willingly told their stories, acknowledged their
accomplishments and even revealed their secrets. All,
without a single regret.
No ballot stuffing here, no popularity contest or
dubious chances to sway the end result. Each winner
is distinguished in
its own unique way.
There is no faking it
when the community
selects you as the
Best of the Best.
This means that
you are preforming
at the highest level
of excellence as
recognized by your
peers. After all, in a
competitive world
and tight economy,
only the best survive
and they deserve
your business.
In building a better
community, leaders
know that success
must be built on a
sound foundation.
In this case, the
foundation is the community's best people, businesses
and organizations, all striving for extreme excellence.
So, this being the case, mark up a ballot today and send
it in or go online to www.upandcomingweekly.com and
vote. Invite your friends to vote. Remember, the Best of
Fayetteville is a year-round celebration!
Speaking of celebrations, Up & Coming Weekly is also
celebrating our 20th anniversary. Can you imagine the
award party we will have this year? Stay tuned for the
details. In the meantime, thank you for reading Up &
Coming Weekly. We love you all!
Vote. Vote. Vote.
