The Best of the Brainerd Lakes contest had a second straight year of admirable response with more than 133,178 votes cast for top three winners in 105 different categories.
The large response from voters displays a passion to honor top businesses in our lakes area which prides itself on individual and business excellence. Area businesses work hard to earn the respect and dedication of not only the local residents but also the millions of annual visitors to our lakes area.
Over the years, anyone could make the claim of being the best in our area. But thanks to the local “Best of” contest, sponsored by the Brainerd Dispatch and Pineandlakes Echo Journal, we now have results, as the voters have spoken.
This publication announces the top three winners in each category for 2022, including stories about first-place businesses. Thanks to everyone who participated and congratulations!
