Once again, we surveyed the community to find out everyone’s favorite businesses in town, and we are excited to announce the winners of Lawton Proud’s 2nd Annual Best of Lawton Awards! If two businesses are listed for the same award, it’s because there was a tie. If you have ideas for categories we missed, let us know and we will consider them for next year. If you won, fill out this form and we’ll send you a winner’s decal to display at your business and/or a digital logo for your website and social media pages. Thanks again to everyone who participated!
