NO VOTING HAPPENING AT THIS TIME:
There are Three local “Best Of” Marin county voters’ choice each year; The Marin IJ “Readers’ Choice Awards,” Marin Magazine’s “Best of County,” and the Pacific Sun “Best of Marin.” We focus on two of the three; Marin IJ and Marin Magazine (we’ll take your votes in Pacific Sun, however, that poll runs at the same time as Marin Magazine) so we don’t want to bombard and confuse with two polls, so we opt for Marin Magazine.
For those of you who vote for us and local businesses, your time and efforts are greatly appreciated by business owners, the community, and especially the employees. It’s a morale booster for staff and patrons. At Creekside, we’ve won Best of in Marin IJ and Marin Mag for 7 consecutive years.
THANK YOU for your continued votes and the honor to serve you. We’ll keep doing our thing: Great food, drinks, service, and community engagement, and Thank You for encouraging our behavior. – Pat Townsley & Team Creekside
