Best of Jackson 2010
The Royal Treatment
What better way to honor our local businesses, nonprofits and personalities than with a huge Best of Jackson awards issue every January? This is the eighth year the Jackson Free Press has conducted a reader's choice contest—you make the choices over six weeks at the end of the year, and we count them and honor them. (Yes, even the ones that make us go hmmm.)
This year, we got more votes than ever, yielding some perennial favorites as well as some new kids on the Best-of block. Remember: The spirit of Best of Jackson is Thinking Local First. Please get out and support these winners and congratulate them. They worked hard for these honors, and you went to the effort of crowning them the best.
Now, bow to this year's royalty.
