Good Times: Best of Santa Cruz County

Pictured: Santa Cruz Naturals founder and CEO, Colin Disheroon and his wife Louisa.

The Good Times Best of Santa Cruz County awards are a local tradition and a badge of honor for the recipients. You’ll find winners’ plaques adorning some of your favorite businesses (we’ve got a collection) across the County. For several years, we’ve been runner-up, and this year we want our rightful seat at the throne! Please help us by voting for Santa Cruz Naturals as best Cannabis Dispensary and Cannabis Delivery!

The tricky part of the Good Times contest is that to have their ballot counted, voters must vote for a minimum of 25 categories. We realize that might seem daunting, so we made a cheat sheet of some of our favorite businesses around town. Check the list and click the link to vote! Deadline is January 31.
