Peoples Choice
Awards 2011
Welcome to the 2011 Peoples Choice Awards. ®
We invite you to come on in and see how the people…
meaning you…voted.
Sit back and read about your local community now and
then go out and see for yourself. From the best burger to the
best hair salon, these are the favorite spots of your friends and
neighbors.
The votes came from our readers of the Milford Times,
Northville Record, Novi News and South Lyon Herald.
Readers were invited to write in their choices, in a number of
categories, the results were then tabulated and published in
this annual special section.
While you’re out and about… tell those business owners
“congratulations”, they are winners – just like you will be by
patronizing them. They are the backbone of your community.
Be sure to check back in August when we bring you the stories
behind the winners.
