Macaroni Kid Franklin/Spring Hill is on a quest to find the places families love in Brentwood, Franklin, Spring Hill and Nolensville!
Our Gold Daisy Awards start with YOU. Who do parents turn to when they want to find the best places for their kids, the best doctors, or the best plumber? Other parents! Here's your chance to nominate all the local businesses that you love, where your family is welcomed and treated well, where your kids have a blast, where you always find what you need, or who come to your home and deliver amazing service.
What Do I Do?
Just fill out and submit our nomination form between now and March 14, 2018. Nominate businesses in as many or as few categories as you would like. Don't know any businesses in a certain category? Just skip that category and fill out the ones that you know.

What Do I Get?
We will randomly select two winners from the nomination forms and votes; each winner will receive a $25 gift card to a local business. Plus, when our winners are announced, you get a list of GREAT local businesses that parents love!
How Do I Let My Favorite Local Business Know That I'm Supporting Them?
Use the pink "f" button at the top of this article to share the article on Facebook. Feel free to add a comment to say which businesses you nominated and even tag them. You can also tweet the article if you're a Twitter fan.
What's the Next Step?
Nominations will close on March 14, 2018. On March 22, 2018, we'll publish the top businesses in each category, and you can cast your vote for your favorites. Winning businesses will be announced April 12, 2018.
What's In It For the Businesses?
The winning business in each category will receive a free listing in our Business Directory, a Macaroni Kid Franklin/Spring Hill Gold Daisy Awards certificate and window cling to display at their place of business, and that wonderful feeling knowing that local families think they're the greatest!
