Step right up, ladies and gentlemen, step right up! It’s almost time once again to cast your lots for the Best of Western North Carolina.
Who will be this year’s local marvels? Now is the time for you to decide. Voting begins Friday, July 29.
Amazing! Dozens of new categories for food, drinks and arts and entertainment.
Thrills! Best of WNC publishes in two issues again this year.
Exciting! Improved balloting system, easier to use than a hurdy gurdy.
What wonders! You can almost hear the calliope whistles and gasps of awe.
There’s only one way to participate in this year’s poll: Vote!
Stay tuned for more announcements and directions on how to cast your vote.
Until then, have a look at least year’s knockout winners.
Thanks for reading through to the end…
We share your inclination to get the whole story. For the past 25 years, Xpress has been committed to in-depth, balanced reporting about the greater Asheville area. We want everyone to have access to our stories. That’s a big part of why we've never charged for the paper or put up a paywall.
We’re pretty sure that you know journalism faces big challenges these days. Advertising no longer pays the whole cost. Media outlets around the country are asking their readers to chip in. Xpress needs help, too. We hope you’ll consider signing up to be a member of Xpress. For as little as $5 a month — the cost of a craft beer or kombucha — you can help keep local journalism strong. It only takes a moment.
If it’s the time to vote, why do we have to wait till Friday?
I’m sensing a circus theme.
