I want to thank all of you subscribers who have taken the time to nominate your favorite local businesses! The businesses who have been nominated so far are very excited and honored!
Throughout the year, Macaroni Kid Thomasville brings you the scoop. Now it is YOUR turn to tell us YOUR family’s top go-to choices to enrich, entertain, and exhaust your kids. We want to know about the businesses that just plain make your life easier as a parent! Let’s make this a fun way to highlight the wonderful local businesses that make the Thomasville area a fabulous place to live, shop, eat, and play!
How Do You Get Started?
From now through July 12th, simply nominate your favorite businesses! Nominate as many or as few businesses as you would like, but please take your time to nominate a business for as many categories as possible. The 5 businesses in each category with the most nominations will move onto the voting round. That is when you, amazing locals, vote for your favorite! The voting round will start on July 20th and closes at 11:59pm on August 9th. Businesses must be located in Thomas, Grady, or Brooks County. Only one submission per email address please; you must be a subscriber to the newsletter to nominate. You can subscribe here. Don't worry, you are free to unsubscribe at any time!

What's In It For The Businesses?
We will announce the winners of each category in an upcoming issue in August. The winning business in each category will receive free placement in our Business Directory for yearlong recognition on our Macaroni Kid website, a 2018 Gold Daisy Awards certificate to print and display at their place of business, and the honor of knowing that local Thomasville area families think they are the greatest! Are you a business owner? Feel free to promote this contest to your loyal customers on your own customer lists, website, and social media!
