Last Week for Gold Daisy Award Nominations

Nominate your favorite, local, family-friendly businesses and organizations!

By Laurie Corbett, Co-Publisher, Macaroni Kid Weymouth January 13, 2020


Our Gold Daisy Awards are back and we couldn't be more excited! 

Macaroni Kid's Gold Daisy Awards recognize the most beloved local businesses for kids in our communities as picked by you! As parents, we want to know the best local business, venues, and organizations for family-friendly fun in our area. Who is better to provide us with that information than other parents?! 

We encourage the nomination of small and locally owned businesses that do a fabulous job serving local children and families. 

Nominations will be accepted until February 7th at noon. The three businesses with the most nominations in each category will move on to the voting round. Voting will begin February 10th and will end on March 2nd. Winners will be announced on March 9th. Categories with limited nominations may be removed before the voting round at the discretion of Macaroni Kid Weymouth. 

Nominees must be located in Avon, Braintree, Canton, Holbrook, Randolph, Stoughton or Weymouth.

One nomination per email address. You must be a Macaroni Kid South Shore Weymouth e-newsletter subscriber to nominate and vote. 

Winning businesses will receive a certificate to hang in their place of business as well as free listing in our business directory for one year under the 2020 Gold Daisy Awards category (a $125 value). They will also be allowed the use of the "Macaroni Approved" logo for the 2020 year as well.
