Final Voting Kicks Off For 2017 Best of Awards!

The first round of voting in the Ellsworth Area Chamber of Commerce ‘Best of’ Awards competition came to a close at midnight this past Sunday, January 29. Over 600 voters helped narrow down the field to determine the three finalists in each of six ‘Best of’ categories.
