Best of Smith Lake 2021 - announcement page from the 2022 Spring issue
Best of Smith Lake - Our community votes annually on their favorite businesses in a given year for the entire lake area - including all businesses in the tri-county area as well as businesses outside the area that serve the lake community routinely. Voting is open year round, and the contest is wrapped up in fall of each year. Currently we have over 100 categories in which businesses can win the top spot, and we add categories upon request. The top 3 winners overall are those who receive the most votes in the entire contest. It's simply a fun way for the community to give back to the businesses with which they have received superior customer service in a given year.

We highlight the people, businesses and activities surrounding our lake.
