See the winners below!
If you have ever been the "new family" who just moved to a new city, you know the struggle of finding the best dentist, preschool, gymnastics, art studio and more. What better way to find them than on the list of the most loved places in Chesapeake, VA, as voted on by Macaroni KID Chesapeake's very own readers?
I'm so thankful to each and every person who filled out a nomination form and/or voting ballot for this year's Family Favorite Awards. There were close to a thousand, and being that this is the first year of the Macaroni KID Chesapeake Family Favorite Awards, I am eager for some feedback.
