Throughout the month of June, readers of The Courier were able to submit ballots for their local favorites in the “Best of” survey for every category imaginable - including restaurants (by cuisine), salons, golf courses, realtors and more! Many submissions were received in all categories, and as a result of the amazing feedback by local residents, the list has now officially been published.

Here are just a few of the local favorites that made the list – and if you’ve never tried them, make plans this weekend for some wonderful eats and entertainment:
