Our big, giant, massive, Valley-wide Best of the Chippewa Valley reader poll is now up and firing on all cylynders. It covers everything from local restaurants to local media to news issues to arts & entertainment and eveything inbetween. Basically, it gives you  way to tell the rest of the Valley what you like – and don't like.

This year, the Best Of poll is using the same engine that powers our web poll (bottom of this page) – Yayboo.com. It allows you to simply vote "Yay" or "Boo" for the responses that your fellow citizens have provided. A yay vote helps your choice move towards the top of the list, and a boo does the opposite. And! You get to add your own responses that can, in turn, be voted on by everyone else. We hope you like it.

Another change we made this year is that you don't need to complete the poll start to finish – you can just skip around, "yaying" and "booing" all willy-nilly in whatever order you want. You can keep voting over the next few weeks, and the only limitation is that you can only yay or boo something once per 24-hour period.

So have fun, and shoot us an email if you have any questions.
