Our big, giant, massive, Valley-wide Best of the Chippewa Valley reader poll is now up and firing on all cylinders. It covers everything from local restaurants to local media to news issues to arts & entertainment and everything in between. And remember! You get to add your own responses that can, in turn, be voted on by everyone else.
Note to businesses: Please don't bribe people for votes. Exchanging free or discounted goods and services for votes is prohibited, including suggesting that any other organization would benefit from supporting you or your business in the poll. Doing so may be perceived as a form of bribery and may get you banned from the poll.
