Readers nominated and voted for their favorite place to host a kid's birthday party in North Canton
The results are in, and the award for best place to host a kid's birthday party in North Canton goes to ... Dogwood Park! The park snagged 33 percent of the vote this week. But, so did Park Centre Lanes. Editor Morgan Day broke the tie by choosing which locale had the most nominations, and that was Dogwood Park. If your favorite place to host a kid's birthday party didn't win, you can still write a rave review in our Directory. And normally we would tell you to watch for our next installment of Readers' Choice Sunday; however, Readers' Choice is taking a little summer vacation and will return in a few weeks. (More on that Sunday.)

Give us your tips on kid-friendly venues for birthday celebrations!
You could do it the old-fashioned way: bake a cake, decorate the house, buy ice cream, make a punch, set a festive table and put up a pinata. But if you have your child's birthday party away from your home, you often can combine good food and a fun activity for a memorable occasion -- not to mention a little less stress for Mom or Dad. So this week's Readers' Choice wants to know: Where's your favorite place to host a kid's birthday party? A local pizza joint? A kid-friendly gym? What about a tour of the local candy factory or ice cream parlor?

When our readers think about staycation-ing, they think about splish-splashing around in Dogwood Pool, according to this week's Readers' Choice poll
Looks like a great staycation in North Canton means a couple lazy days lounging by the pool. Dogwood Pool, to be specific. The pool came out ahead in this week's Readers' Choice poll, when we asked for the best places to hang out when you've got some down time. It won with 22 percent of the votes. Coming in right behind Dogwood Pool were the Barrel Room and the Hoover Trail with 14 percent of the vote for each. Third place went to Price Park with 8 percent of the votes. And we had quite a few nominations this week, thanks to our readers. Thank you to everyone who made a nomination this week and voted in our poll!

We told you earlier in the week that this category — staycations — was pretty neat because it could literally mean anything. And because of that, we sure do have a wide variety of North Canton hangouts to choose from this week. Thank you to everyone who nominated a great spa, restaurant, park or all-around awesome hangout here in town. We got everything from the Chapel at Walsh University, to Palombo's Italian Restaurant to Park Centre Lanes and you better believe we've included all of them in this week's poll.

Where in North Canton do you go to have some fun on your days off?
For many of us, going on vacation doesn't necessarily mean taking a trip. Going on vacation can simply mean chillin' at home -- going out to eat, doing some fun things in town and maybe getting a few household chores done. We're so glad someone invented a name for this kind of non-travelin' vacation: The Staycation. This week's Readers' Choice focuses on Best Staycation Destinations. Beginning today -- Monday, May 7 -- and through 5 p.m. Wednesday, May 9, we'll be asking for your recommendations for places to go while on a staycation. Where to go on a staycation? A local putt-putt course ... the historical society ... a bowling alley ... the spa ... the video arcade. These are places where you can relax and have a little fun. Give us your …
