Many wonderful businesses were included in this years awards and we believe congratulations are in order for all the businesses who were nominated and finalists. They all deserve a great round of applause and if you are not already familiar with them, we hope you will become so during this year.
In a few categories, the final tally separated the winner from the second place business by just a few votes so these "runner-up" businesses are noted below with an Honorable Mention.
