Welcome back, Patch Blogger!

Vote for the Best of Everything in Saline

You nominated your favorites in more than 20 categories; now it's time to cast your vote for the Patch Patch Readers' Choice 2012.

 

There is a lot to celebrate about Saline: Great schools, beautiful parks, a charming downtown, unique shops and good restaurants.

But what's the best? 

Earlier this summer, we asked you to help us gather nominations for Patch Readers' Choice 2012. For three weeks in June and July you told us about your favorite hair salons, your favorite teachers and the best place to get your car fixed.

Now it's time to put those nominations to a vote.

Cast your vote by Aug. 17 and help us decide who's best. Whichever business gets the most votes will be named the Readers' Choice winner in that category. You must log in to Patch to vote; you may vote once in each poll. The winners will be announced Aug. 24.
