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.

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.)
