Welcome to the inaugural edition of Best of Madison County, 
a celebration of the businesses, people, and organizations that make this community such a wonderful place to call home. From the historic charm of Berea and the growing energy of Richmond to the small towns and countryside that connect them, Madison County is defined by hardworking people, thriving local businesses, and a strong sense of community.

 

The Berea Citizen created Best of Madison County to recognize the businesses and individuals who make a difference every day. Whether it is a favorite local restaurant, a trusted healthcare provider, a family-owned business, or a dedicated service professional, these are the people and organizations that have earned the confidence and support of their neighbors.

 

The response to our first year exceeded every expectation. Community members cast more than 92,000 votes, demonstrating just how passionate Madison County residents are about supporting the businesses and organizations that help their communities thrive. Every vote represents a story of exceptional service, lasting relationships, and hometown pride.

 

Launching a community program like this takes the support 
of many people. We extend our sincere thanks to our advertisers, community partners, participating businesses, and everyone who took the time to nominate and vote. Your enthusiasm helped make the inaugural Best of Madison County a tremendous success.

Congratulations to this year’s Gold, Silver, and Bronze winners.
