Readers of our newspapers — Stowe Reporter, News & Citizen and Waterbury Record — voted for their favorite restaurants, bars, ski shops, fitness pros, nonprofit organizations and so much more.
Here’s how it worked. During a monthlong nomination round, readers let us know their favorite people, places and services. Results were tabulated and then the voting started. More than 2,000 voters turned out for the final round, with over 76,000 individual votes in 92 categories.
We’ve listed the top three in each category, along with the top nominees. As for those nominees, we didn’t include one-hit wonders, and in most categories cut off the list of nominees if people didn’t at least hit double digits. Nominees are listed in alphabetical order, not by vote totals.
And in case you’re wondering — ‘4393’ corresponds to the elevation of Mount Mansfield, Vermont’s highest peak and home to Stowe Mountain Resort. We can’t believe folks ‘round here don’t know that, but perhaps it is because some sources list the elevation at 4,395 feet. However, the U.S. Geological Survey (usgs.gov) uses the 4,393 elevation, and that’s definitive enough for us.
They’re here — the results of our annual 4393 Awards! Readers of our newspapers — Stowe Reporter, News & Citizen and Waterbury Record — voted for their favorite restaurants, bars, ski shops, fitness pros, nonprofit organizations and so much more. We present this special section to our readers — both locals and visitors — and we hope you will enjoy it and refer to it throughout the year.

The 4393 Awards will live online at stowetoday.com/4393awards until next year’s contest, and printed copies will be distributed throughout Lamoille County, Stowe and Waterbury. Hip, hip, hooray!
