2019 Best of the North Bay

On a cool spring evening in May, NorthBay biz revealed the 2019 winners of its 30th annual readers’ poll at Sonoma Country Day School in Santa Rosa. The event was hosted by Lawrence Amaturo, publisher, and John Dennis, president, along with the staff at NorthBay biz. Pat Kerrigan, news director/morning show host of KSRO, Sonoma County’s AM/FM news talk radio, served as the master of ceremonies. This year, there were more than 3,000 ballots cast, which translated to more than 60,000 votes in 36 categories.

Congratulations to all of this year’s winners!
