2008 Family Favorites Awards
THE RESULTS ARE IN!
|
We here at Kern County Family Magazine asked you, our readers, what people, places, and services you find fun, interesting, cool, unique, and best-deal-for-your-dollar.
Thank you for your overwhelming response to this question. The survey has been tabulated and the winners are in. We allowed one ballot per family and a minimum of 30 categories had to be completed to be eligible.
Congratulations to all of our 2008 Kern County Family Favorite Award winners in categories ranging from travel to ice cream to doctors.
Throughout our printed version of Kern County Family Magazine, look for the "Family Favorites" seal where businesses have acknowledged a "thank you" for
allowing them to be part of your lives and honoring them with this award.
These awards prove that Bakersfield truly is "life as it should be."
