Patch is on a mission to compile the best of Oakland Township and Lake Orion, and we need your help.

All summer, we'll run a contest where you can nominate and vote for your favorite people, places and businesses in town.

Tell us where you love to shop, eat, take your kids, which services you can’t live without. WE WANT TO KNOW, and so do your neighbors!

Click on the following links to nominate your favorites by July 9.
