By Times West Virginian
We at The Times West Virginian are distinctly honored and privileged to bring you the results of our Best of the Best Readers’ Choice Awards for 2020. This special edition is perhaps our most highly anticipated publication each year. But, like so many plans and scheduled events this year, it had to be delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Today, more than ever, our local businesses face unique challenges posed by the current health crisis. And, they have responded by adapting staying resilient while continuing to
provide outstanding products and services to the community. This publication is a celebration of our local businesses that have succeeded at what they do each and every day. All of the businesses, places and people that earned honors in this publication have a good reason to be proud. Because they were each chosen by the most discriminating of judges – you! It’s not easy to be voted as one of our area’s Best of the Best. Our readers first nominated their local favorites in more than 120 categories from among eight main areas which included: Dining, Services, Shopping, Professionals, Health & Beauty,
Entertainment & Leisure, Education and Community Brag. The Top 5 nominated in each category were then placed on a final ballot and readers selected their top choice in each of those same categories. We at The Times West Virginian simply tally the votes and present the winners. We are pleased to announce the First Place and Second Place results in each of the categories here in this special keepsake edition. We commend and applaud each one of them listed here, as well as those businesses that reached the level of being nominated as a TOP 5 Finalist. We would also like to thank
the following businesses for helping to sponsor these awards this year: Webb Heating Cooling & Electrical, Bailey Insurance, Tuscan Sun Spa & Salon, Palatine Park, Keystone Realty, 5 Star Auto Wash, Floyd Real Estate, The Derby, Country Club Bakery, Brandi Powell Counseling Services, MCPARC, Fairmont Veterinary Hospital, Gwynn Tire, Riders Cards, Gifts & More, Tygart Valley Cinemas, St. Barbara’s Nursing Home and Derma Doodlezz. Our special thanks to Fairmont State University for again partnering with us to present these awards. Congratulations to the winners! If you haven’t visited
some of these businesses, today is a great time to start. Look for the Best of the Best certificates or the window sticker featuring the official awards logo displayed in their businesses. Make sure you mention the Best of the Best award to them because we all know it feels good to be recognized.
Our readers have chosen the Best of the Best!
