They thought they could take the precious, did they? We wants it. We needs it. Must have the precious!
Okay, that's a bit of an exaggeration. But hey, who doesn't love a good Gollum every now and then?

In the past, it's taken place from late December to late January or so, with winners announced in March. For some reason, it got pushed back until NOW. Usually, we get a heads-up that this is happening, but I guess they decided to keep us on our toes this year.
I'll bet you know where I'm going with this.
And no, you're not wrong.
YES, PLEASE VOTE FOR ME!
You have from NOW until August 20th!
I've come in first two out of the last three years, and it is entirely due to my badass clients voting for Team Heartfire. I'd love to continue the tradition; I'm not particularly competitive overall (hush, Dad!), but I am in this case.

1. Simply go to www.bestoftheboat.com (or follow any of the links above; they all go to the same place).
2. Log in (or create an account if you don't have one).
3. Vote! You can skip directly to page 3 (Professionals) if you don't want to wade through the whole damn thing.
Extra bonus points if:
. . . you vote for Steamboat Independent Spa under the "best spa" category (bottom of page 2, Business & Community)
. . . you vote for Fireside Catering under the "best catering service" category (page 6, Dining)
. . . you forward this info on to your friends and they vote! Please note: you don't have to live in Steamboat in order to participate in the voting.
Thank you all so, so much!

Happy summer!
Be well, and I hope to see you soon.
