Announcing Macaroni Kid PSL's 2015/16 Gold Daisy Award Winners!

Congratulations To All The Winners And To Every Business That Was Nominated

January 8, 2016
Back in October we asked you to nominate your favorite local businesses and then vote for the finalists in our 2nd Annual Macaroni Kid Port Saint Lucie Gold Daisy Awards and you came through! It was an exciting 2nd year for these awards with hundreds of nominations and votes cast from folks all over Saint Lucie County. You let us know your go-to places to entertain, enrich, exhaust, and take care of your kids and families. And we agree — they are awesome!

Many wonderful businesses were included in this years awards and we believe congratulations are in order for all the businesses who were nominated and finalists. They all deserve a great round of applause and if you are not already familiar with them, we hope you will become so during this year. 

In a few categories, the final tally separated the winner from the second place business by just a few votes so these "runner-up" businesses are noted below with an Honorable Mention.
