Last Chance: Best of County, Best of Villages

Only a few days left to vote local in ballots from the Tarrytown-Sleepy Hollow Chamber and Westchester Magazine.

Love our local businesses here in Tarrytown and Sleepy Hollow? Here's a way to support them when you're not out patronizing them in person: two different places to vote local, with deadlines coming soon.

Best of Westchester

Votes must be cast by midnight Feb. 7 for the annual Best of Westchester awards from Westchester Magazine.

Click here to nominate your favorite local businesses in categories including:

  • food and drink
  • health and beauty
  • people and media
  • home and garden
  • shopping
  • leisure and nightlife
  • kids
  • weddings

There’s a ton of specific slots to fill within each category, but you need only vote for 20 (any less and your vote will not be counted!)

And, please, note the Westchester editors, no chains. And notes Patch editor: unclick all those boxes in the end unless you want to receive a ton of spam!

Best of Tarrytown and Sleepy Hollow

And onto our own Chamber of Commerce’s Best of Sleepy Hollow and Tarrytown awards.

Vote for Chamber members (see a list here) by Feb. 11 using this form.

From the Chamber:

Potential nominees must be chamber members in good standing. The potential nominees will be evaluated based on: attendance at meetings/networkings, events and general participation and involvement within the community as well as the number of nominations received from the general public.  Nominations that describe an extraordinary, funny or unique positive experience will be given more attention in this selection. 

Categories include:

  • best retail

A big part of the problem is that the teachers' expectations about what supplies are necessary haveRead More become so extreme. When my kids were in school in Tarrytown, we would get a list at the beginning of every school year of the supplies we needed to buy. The parents were asked to buy a separate looseleaf binder for every single class our kids were taking and, for some classes, they asked for a looseleaf AND a spiral notebook. When I was in school, each kid had ONE looseleaf and we separated classes with dividers. Having SIX or seven loose leafs adds to backpack weight and costs a lot of money. My kids supply bills were often close to $100 apiece. The teachers have bought into this idea that all of these supplies are necessary and they are not. I'm not surprised that Staples is offering "rewards programs." Their advertising and marketing efforts have convinced the teachers that you must have a package of 12 red correcting pens, per child.
