The Sanibel-Captiva Island/Island Reporter is hosting its
annual Best of the Islands
“After being a part the islands for more than 40 years,
this is our humble way of giving the community a chance to show their
appreciation for the hardworking island business that put forth a great service
on a daily basis,” said Publisher Scott Blonde.
The community votes for its favorite island businesses in
93 categories to be named Best of the Islands. At a special awards luncheon the
winning businesses are presented with a plaque to showcase the community’s
appreciation for their outstanding services.
“I’m proud to be appreciated by the community,” said John
Grey, owner of John Grey Painting and multi-winner of Best of the Islands in
the painting category. “It does a good service to us by helping people identify
our business.”
Ballots can be found in a special insert in this edition
of the Islander/Island Reporter, as well as in the July 27 edition. Ballots
must be returned to the newspaper’s office, 2340 Periwinkle Way, Unit K, by
Aug. 3. Completed contest rules are listed on each ballot.
“Voting really makes a difference,” said Maureen Watson
of Watson MacRae Gallery and first-team winner of last year’s Best of the
Islands in the art gallery category. “It’s nice to recognize those businesses
that do a good job for you, the individual voter, and that contribute to the
community.”
Cast your ballot for Best of the Islands during this
unique opportunity to show your appreciation for the island business community.
There are only two chances to vote.
