Best of the Triangle is always one of our most popular sections. It’s also one of the most fun to compile. The

winners are typically beside themselves when they receive their certificate. Certificates are presented by Dispatch sales reps, Annette Estes, Hamp Holley, Mary Jane Runnels and Diane Wyant. Presenting the certificates is one of the highlights of the year for our reps.

Below is the list of this year’s winners. The top vote-getter is listed as the “Best,”

while the second and third place winners are referred to as “Among the Best.” Please note our Among the Best winners are not necessarily listed in the order of the number of votes they received, and where there are multiple listings under “Best” and “Among the Best” it indicates a tie for that category.

Congratulations to our winners and to all of the businesses and individuals who received votes.
