Deadline to vote looms

This is the fourth and final week of the 2011 “Best of Grady County” Readers Choice Awards contest so you have until Monday, Jan. 31, to cast as many ballots as you wish.
Mailed entries must be postmarked by Jan. 31 to be included in this year’s contest.
Hundreds and hundreds of ballots have already been cast, but more are welcomed, according to Randolph H. Wind, editor of The Cairo Messenger.
“This is the only election I know of where you are encouraged to vote early and often. Make sure your favorite person, business or service is judged the ‘best’,” Wind said.
Some very close races have developed as The Messenger staff has been busy tabulating the results.
The winners will be featured in an upcoming special edition of The Cairo Messenger.
Look for the fourth and final ballot inside this week’s edition.
“You can’t win if you don’t participate,” Wind reminds local residents.
