It’s hard to believe that a whole year has gone by and already we’re presenting to you our 2023 Readers Choice winners! Congratulations, one and all!

This year, we’ve taken a bit of a different tack by focusing all of our feature articles on winners. First up, is UP Market Media, winner of Best Local Marketing/Design Company. It’s all girl power in that office, and though it’s not by design, it’s a powerful thing. 

Second, we’ve featured Best Barbershop winner, Vintage Barbers. Now, I don’t have a beard, so I can’t attest to their services, but I can tell you this…the men in our area love this place. It’s got a cool vibe and you’ll love reading their story.

Next is a haven for local dogs, and apparently those who care for them. Cindy Lou’s Dos Grooming & Boarding is this year’s winner for Best Place to Take Your Pet to be Groomed, and the employees there can’t stop talking about their wonderful workplace, their wonderful boss, and the fantastic four-legged fur-babies they serve.

Last is our cover feature, Katie Hodges, winner of Best Local Hero. If you’re a regular reader of the Statesboro Herald, you surely read of her heroic exploits last year. But there is more to this remarkable young lady than this one incident. Read her story and see for yourself!

Best wishes to all of our winners. And thank you to our readers, who voted faithfully and pointed us to the best this community has to offer!It’s hard to believe that a whole year has gone by and already we’re presenting to you our 2023 Readers Choice winners! Congratulations, one and all!
