Competition was very close in the 2013 LaVergne Loves contest!  But we do have winners, runners up, some third place winners, and others who definitely deserve consolation prizes.  Remember, this contest is all in fun and also know that to have been nominated by someone or several people who really do love you was quite the honor, too!

The categories that received the most votes were:

Favorite Sit Down Restaurant
Favorite Grocery
Favorite Elected Official
Favorite Elementary Teacher
Best Random LaVergnian
Favorite LaVergne Celebrity
Favorite Awesome and Win

We are very sad to report that there is one snafu that we are working with Polldaddy to fix. The polls on Favorite High School Teacher and Coolest Hair in Town have disappeared. Yes, we all voted for people in these categories, but for some bizarre reason they are not showing in our control panel anywhere. If we hear back from the poll company and can get results we will let you know.  If not, then we’ll just say all nominees were winners!

Presenting … drumroll … the winners!
