BEST OF EUGENE BALLOT 2006
t’s time once again for you, dear readers, to tell us what’s great about living in Eugene. Which bar has the best house drink? Where’s
the best place to volunteer your time and effort for a good cause? And what’s for dinner? Like last year, we’ll be celebrating the
winners with a party and awards ceremony in late October, though we can’t tell you the details just yet. We can tell you that this year
we’ve entered the 21st century — you can now vote online at ballot.eugeneweekly.com
