Dear ,

 
It's 2013! How did that happen? We hope this year will be the best year ever for you!

January is usually a pretty quiet month, but just when you think cabin fever might get the best of you, be sure to get out and enjoy the happenings in Jefferson County! 


 

2013 Jefferson County Hospitality Awards   

 

 

Hospitality Symbol Have you ever had an exemplary customer service experience in Jefferson County? Has someone gone above and beyond to help you? The Jefferson County Tourism Council (JCTC) bets you have had many such experiences and they want to hear about them.  

 

Reward your great service experience by nominating that person for the 3rd annual JCTC Golden Pineapple Award. Nominees should work or volunteer for a Jefferson County business or organization.  

 

"We are looking for a person who makes your day better, who does the unexpected. These front line people are the face of Jefferson County and help to make us a destination. And we don't think they get enough credit, that's why this award was created," said JCTC Board President Steve Cline.  

 

We will be presenting our Golden Pineapple Award to one of the nominated individuals at an awards ceremony in March of 2013 at a local restaurant (to be announced). The pineapple, especially in Colonial times, was felt to represent a sense of welcome, good cheer, and human warmth. We believe it is the perfect symbol for this award. The top nominees will be honored at a dinner with the winner receiving a cash award. Last year's winner was Teri Macejkovic at the BeeHive Hair Salon in Jefferson. DEADLINE TO NOMINATE SOMEONE IS FRIDAY, MARCH 1, 2013.

Sizzlin 60s The 1960's was the most creative, the most turbulent, the most exciting, and the most entertaining decade of the last half of the 20th Century.
