Hi Dusty,
Do you have a category for "Best Fitness Studio or Gym"? We'd love to have The Patch come see what we are offering LOCO moms at Mommy Bootcamp!
Thanks,
Kathy

Hi Kathy,

Unfortunately, the categories have already been selected. But we will definitely keep that one in mind for the future.

Dusty,

Not sure if this fits but everyone raves about "Cook", the cooking school right off of Loudoun County Parkway.

Food or Entertainment ? People got for both?

I don't see "Best Kid's Recreational Facility" or even "Best Kid's Party Place." Sport Bounce of Loudoun would surely have my vote!

Dusty / Patch -

You're definitely missing something related to shopping / boutique / specialty store. There are quite a few more specialized small businesses in the Ashburn area that are left out of these categories.

Unfortunately, we can't add every business category to Readers' Choice. However, we'll be happy to save your ideas for next year's poll.

Leah, would you consider adding Best Live Entertainment as a category to next year's poll? Theatre companies don't fit into the categories for Local Band or Movie Theater yet offer quality entertainment to consider. Thanks!
