is excited to announce the long-awaited return of a very popular feature—the Readers’ Choice Awards!
This special feature gives you the chance to celebrate what makes our tricounty area (Pierce, Ware and Brantley) unique. It’s your opportunity to vote for your favorite local businesses, restaurants, services and more. Whether it’s the business that offers excellent customer service, the bakery that has the perfect morning muffin or cake or the dry cleaner who always goes the extra mile, this is your moment to show them some love.
This isn’t just a list—it’s a community tradition. Your votes help highlight the people and places that deserve a little extra recognition. Winning a Readers’ Choice award can bring new customers and well-earned pride to the folks who keep our local communities running and thriving.
Are you ready to have your say? Find the official ballot in this week’s edition of The Times. Check off your favorites, send it in, and keep an eye out for the special edition featuring all the winners.
The deadline to support your favorite business is February 6, 2026. Mail your ballot to 126 NW Central Avenue, Blackshear, GA 31516, or drop it off at our office at that location.
You can vote as many times as you would like. All ballots must be original. No copies will be allowed.
Support your favorites—your vote could make all the difference.
Let’s celebrate the best of the tri-county area—together.
