The Readers Have Spoken!Over a two week period in late September, the Newton Daily News asked readers to vote for

their favorite businesses. The votes were tallied from both print and online ballots. The results of the survey are listed in this annual special

edition. Many local businesses have extended their gratitude to you and appreciate your

continued support. In the coming weeks, you will see many certificates displayed throughout town. These certificates recognize our winners. Please congratulate them all on their accomplishments!
