The Columbia County Chamber of Commerce, the Register-Star, and the Chatham Courier present The Best of Columbia County. This context allows county residents, and visitors to make their voices heard in deciding the best of the best in a broad field of over 85 categories–including best bar, best burger, best plumber, best florist, and best Real Estate Company. Winners will be announced during an Academy Award style show, held at the Columbia County fairgrounds in Chatham on June 22.
You have to vote in at least 10 categories to enter. All you need to vote is an email address. Here’s my shameless plug – Beach & Bartolo Realtors has won Best Realtor for the past two years, and we would love to win again.
