The summary list of 2020’s winners
The Best of Eastern Shore 2020 winners are here, as voted by our readership. This is an important designation. Last fall we called upon you to write-in your recommendations in many categories. After carefully vetting ballots for any duplicates or multiples originating from one source (no ballot stuffing allowed), we arrived at the resulting winners. You chose the winners on the following pages; no winner paid to be on this list, however those businesses who have purchased advertising in What’s Up? Eastern Shore magazine this year have their full contact information included on their individual listing.
