Four businesses in Hancock were named either a winner of finalist in VerStandig Media’s Best of the Tristate awards.
Willie’s Primitive Attic and Flower Shop, Morrell Advanced Practice, Flannel on the Trail, and Timeless Baby Boutique, all of Hancock, were named winners and finalists
Nominations for businesses in the Tri-State area were open January 6, 2025, through February 2. Online voting then began on February 17 and lasted through March 19.
During that time, those who were nominated promote their business, as well as those in their own community, on their social media and encouraged people to vote once a day for their business.
Winners were announced on April 1, but a ceremony was held on March 28. Winners did not know their final vote totals or how the finalists ranked.
Willie’s Primitive Attic and Flower shop won two awards – Best Florist and Best Wedding Floral – and a finalist for gift shop.
Morrell Advanced Practice won for Best Family Doctor (Allison Wade) and was a finalist for Medical Practice.
Timeless Baby Boutique was a finalist for Children’s Clothing Store and Flannel on the Trail was a finalist for Boutique.
