Nominations Closed for Readers Choice, But the Voting is Yet to Begin

That month-long push to get your nominations for Readers Choice ended last Monday, July 9.

Remember all those Readers Choice stories we sprung on you a few weeks ago? We asked for your nominations for the best of Sonoma in a multitude of categories, from Best Auto Mechanic to Best Veggie-Friendly Dish, Best Ice Cream and Best Pizza places,  Garden Supply Store and Gym.

You can review , but remember nominations are closed, as of Monday July 9.

That contest isn't over. In fact, it's just beginning. We're assembling your nominations into a series of polls that will determine, by reader voting, the Best of Sonoma. (Some of the broader categories may be open to regional voting, to include some of our neighboring Patch sites such as Petaluma, , Healdsburg, perhaps even Napa.)

The voting period begins on Monday, July 23, and will continue for two weeks. We hope you participate and enjoy rooting for your own "Best of Sonoma" on Patch.

In the meantime... how about those cute canines, eh?
