Congratulations to all of the finalists in the 2016 Best of West Hartford! You can still vote! Voting will close on August 31, 2016.

By Joy Taylor

As we enter the final few days of voting (as noted by the countdown clock above), the Best of West Hartford event committee is eager to make sure the whole town, and those beyond, are aware of this opportunity to vote.

The urgent message from the event committee is: “You only need to login once and vote (no ballot-stuffing permitted), so it’s critical that you participate in this ‘people’s choice’ contest, and that you encourage your family, friends and customers to play along so that their votes are heard!”

CLICK TO VOTE FOR YOUR FAVORITES!

Winners will be announced live at the awards show. Tickets are now on sale for the Best of West Hartford Awards Show, which takes place on Thursday, Sept. 8, 2016, from 5:30 – 8:30 p.m., at the Town Hall Auditorium. Tickets are $48 in advance (click here for more information and to purchase), and $60 at the door if they don’t sell out in advance. Ticket price includes food, entertainment, and two free drink tickets.
