Our readers have spoken and once again we are proud to announce the winners of the 2014

Best of the Pajaro Valley. To those businesses and organizations that find their names within these pages, we at the Register-Pajaronian offer our sincere congratulations. Foremost, however, we want to thank our readers for participating and voting for their favorite places, events, retailers, nonprofit organizations, restaurants, wineries and others who provide services and goods

throughout our region. We do not list second and third place winners, so if you did not make it this year, there is a good chance that next year will be your year, because of the appreciation our readers have shown for all of our local businesses.

Here’s to enjoying what this area has to offer and congratulations to the winners!
