Readers' Choice: Sporting Goods

Spring is officially in the air here in Howell. This week for our Readers' Choice poll we're not asking , where you with the family, or even where you go to get your . 

With the sun coming out more and the temperature rising we want to know where you'll be going to get that new glove, that new bat, maybe even that new bicycle. Fortunately here in Howell whether it is one of the bigger department stores or a smaller shop there are plenty of options.

Voting for your favorite places is easy. All you have to do is:

• Cast your ballot.
• Tell your friends, family, acquaintances, co-workers, doctors, letter carriers and anyone else you know to do the same.
• Use our comment tool to tell us what makes your favorite the best. Is it the way the selection they offer for the item you have to have? Is it knowing you can walk in there not knowing what you want but knowing you'll get something you have to have? Maybe it's just where you've always gone when spring rolls around.

The voting goes until 9 a.m. Friday with the winner being announced at noon so there is plenty of time to cast your vote for where you and your friends and neighbors can go to get that must have piece of equipment. A tie will be decided by which place has the most positive comments and reviews on their Patch Places page. 

Editor's Note: Because this poll is not scientific, it is not the sole consideration in choosing a winner. The winner will be determined by the Patch editor, based on poll results and reviews on Patch Places. Please vote only once per survey, per Patch. Official rules for the Readers' Choice Poll are attached to this story.
