SHERBURNE – The Village of Sherburne now features the best ice cream place in a 19 county area of New York State, as Gilligan's Island gets voted the winner for best ice cream place.

WCNY public television covers all or parts of this 19 county area in central New York including: Chenango, Broome, Otsego, Madison, Oneida, Jefferson, Lewis, Oswego, Onondaga, Cayuga, Wayne, Ontario, Seneca, Yates, Schuyler, Tompkins, Cortland, Tioga & Herkimer.

Recently, WCNY has decided to do a series that goes throughout these 19 counties and allows its viewers to nominate and then vote for the best places in different categories.

The series is named, Quest For The Best, as WCNY decided to start with finding out who the public felt was the best ice cream place in the area.

“We have a pretty active Facebook presence, so we got nominated by a fan, I noticed and we followed it, and we won,” said Mike Lagoe, owner of Gilligan's Island.

When asked what he thought made Gilligan's Island so special to win this award, Legoe answered, “Well we got voted the best ice cream place not the best ice cream necessarily, so I think people look for community involvement, and atmosphere which we have.”
