Welcome to the inaugural edition of Best of Montgomery County, a celebration of the businesses, people, and organizations that make this community such a special place to call home. From the heart of Mt. Sterling to communities throughout the county, this is a place shaped by hardworking people, local pride, and neighbors who believe in supporting one another.

 

The Mt. Sterling Advocate created Best of Montgomery County to recognize the businesses and individuals who make a difference every day. Whether it is a favorite restaurant, a trusted healthcare provider, a family-owned shop, or a dedicated service professional, these are the people and organizations that help the community thrive and make Montgomery County a great place to live, work, and visit.

 

The response to our first year was tremendous. Community members cast more than 38,000 votes, an incredible showing for the inaugural Best of Montgomery County. That enthusiasm demonstrates just how much residents value their local businesses and how eager they are to recognize the people and places that consistently earn their trust and support.

 

Launching a community program like this takes the support of many people. We extend our sincere thanks to our advertisers, community partners, participating businesses, and everyone who took the time to nominate and vote. Your enthusiasm helped turn the first Best of Montgomery County into a celebration truly shaped by the community.

 

Congratulations to this year’s Gold and Silver winners. We invite you to explore BestofMontgomeryCounty.com, discover the outstanding businesses recognized in these pages, and continue supporting the people and places that make Montgomery County such a wonderful
place to live, work, and grow.
