Best of Jackson

Whether you are new to Jackson, a lifelong resident, or somewhere in between, there always seems to come a time when you find yourself asking someone you know “Where’s the best place in town to …”


Imagine being able to get the opinion of hundreds of people at once. About dozens of products … and services … and hot spots. You get the idea.

Prize Drawing

That is what our annual “Best of Jackson” readers’ choice awards are all about, getting the word out about the best this community has to offer. This marks the second year that we have offered an expanded number of categories in an effort to be more inclusive and represent a larger cross section of the county. Categories range from “Best Children’s Menu” to “Best Place to Watch Televised Sports.” New this year are “Best New Car Dealer,” “Best New Gift Shop,” “Best Neighborhood Hardware,” and “Best Sub/Sandwich.”

Voting is now closed, category winners will be featured in the February 2008 edition of Jackson Magazine.

Good luck and thank you for helping us select and honor the “Best of Jackson.”
