Been waiting? You can now cast your ballots for the Breeze Newspapers’ annual “Best Of” series highlighting Cape Coral businesses.
The Best of Cape Coral, a reader’s choice program sponsored by The Breeze, features more than 200 categories for members of the community to show support for their favorite and highly-recommended local businesses.
Voting will be open on Friday and ends at 11:59 p.m. on Sept. 8. Individuals can vote one time each day per category. There also will be an official ballot guide in Friday’s Cape Coral Breeze, where voters can fill out the ballots and return them to any business listed in the guide, or at the Cape Coral Breeze Office at 2510 Del Prado Blvd. S.
“The popularity of this contest is a tribute to the diversity and vitality of the Cape’s business owners and also the long-term strength of The Breeze’s brand in this market,” said Breeze Newspapers Publisher Ray Eckenrode. “There are many ‘best ofs’ out there, but none carry with them the prestige of winning our contest.”
After the votes are tallied, winners will be announced in the Oct. 3 edition of The Breeze, and recognized at a special event in October. All winners will be contacted with details following the voting period.
“Each year we look forward to the excitement from the community for this event,” said Laurie Ragle, advertising director for the Breeze Newspapers. “It’s kind of electric in the office during the voting period. We have several new businesses in the Cape, and it’ll be fun to see how the voting goes.”
