Greetings CAL ladies,

It's the Best of Bonner County Daily Bee Contest time again! I am asking all members and friends/family to get online and vote for our favorite store as well as our favorite charitable organization. The contest began June 1st & goes until June 22nd at midnight. There are a few steps necessary to get to the actual ballot screen however.                               
Start by going to http://www.bonnercountydailybee.com & scroll down on the home page to the ad position. You should see a large gold certificate image that you can click on to get to the voting. Next step is creating a login & password, then following the directions to have this information verified. This is not the simplest procedure, but certainly possible for smart people like you! 

Once you finally get to the choices, you can start selecting the ones that you feel are right for our store. Bizarre Bazaar is available to chose in the "Best Businesses" category: "Best Customer Service", "Favorite Old Time Business", "Most Creative Local Business"; "Favorite Shopping" categories of favorite Clothing store, favorite Jewelry store, favorite Thrift store, Friendliest Sandpoint store, and Most Unique store. You will see Bizarre Bazaar listed for all of the categories (even E-cig. store!). Just ignore those. The other category that would be wonderful for us to win is the last one, "Uniquely Bonner County". Favorite Charitable Organization category has both Bizarre Bazaar and Community Assistance League; please choose CAL in this category. As you enter your votes, the VOTE button will change from red to green "VOTED" so you know you have been successful. 

If (like me) you are unable to locate the Best of Bonner County voting location on the Bee's home page, this is the direct link to the voting site: http://bonnercountydailybee.secondstreetapp.com/l/Best-of-Bonner-County-2016/Home (here you can register & login once you have registered).

Once you have it entered, you can just go there everyday and do your civic duty by placing these votes (after logging in again!).

Thanks to each and everyone of you for making this extra effort to help us win some of these awards. We will receive some wonderful free publicity for our efforts and also bring in even more customers to our favorite store. Kudos and immense gratitude to you all!
