The Best of Botetourt 2009
The votes are in!
We asked you to pick the “Best of Botetourt County.” And you did.
And the results are right here — in more than 50 categories, ranging from best community event to the best electrician, from the best school event to the best new thing in Botetourt County, from best place to go trick-or-treating to the best new reason for living in Botetourt County.
So, what do you think? And what categories should we add for next year?
You can leave comments below.
