Stow Patch is compiling a list of the best things in town.

Our Readers' Choice contest is looking for your favorite places to shop, eat and play. 

Tell us about your favorite restaurants, parks, coffee shops and gas stations. Who has the best pizza in Stow? Where's the best place to get your car fixed? Which grocery store do you like?

Nominate your favorites by July 9 in these categories:

• Health & Beauty
• Shopping
• Food & Drink
• Kids
• Home
• Services
• Automotive

It’s easy:

1. Go to Readers’ Choice (It's under the "News" tab on the home page).

2. Nominate your favorite businesses in the comments! (Because this is a contest, you’ll need to create a Patch login to nominate and vote!)

Make as many nominations as you like. After, we'll run polls to determine who will wear the Readers' Choice crown.
