The Best of the Brainerd Lakes contest had another year of admirable response with more than 118,383 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.
Over the years, anyone could make the claim for being the best in our area. We’re excited by the response as almost 589,000 votes have been cast in the five years of “Best of” lakes area competition.
This publication announces the top three winners in each category for 2023, including stories about the first place businesses. Thanks to everyone who participated and congratulations to the winners!
