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.

The Lakeside Life MagazineThe Lakeside Life Magazine is a lake lifestyle luxury publication, one you'll be proud to display on your coffee table, featuring our home lake, the incomparable Lewis Smith Lake. We highlight the people, businesses and activities surrounding our lake. Established in October of 2017, the magazine is published on a quarterly basis - except through COVID where we printed 3 issues a year and it has worked out great to help our advertisers through a tough financial period. Who knows, we might continue that! Our publication is heavy, thick, full of content featuring over 100 elite area advertisers - developed, designed, published locally - 100% LOCAL - no expensive out of state franchise involved that YOU have to pay for.
We use our reach on social media to further promote not only our advertisers, but all our supporters and readers, and their take on living lakeside! Join us on Instagram @thelakesidelife_smithlake to keep up with all the fun. We segregate lots of information to other accounts as listed: @smithlakebiz @smithlakepix @smithlakeal & @visitsmithlake. If you use familiar hashtags when posting we can enjoy and share your interpretations of topics like: #howilake #spotsonsmith #smithlakelife #smithlakepets #smithlakepeople #smithlakecommunity #thelakesidelife and so much more! Just watch how we tag, and do the same!
