The Readers Have Spoken!
For a two week period in late October, the Newton News, Jasper County Tribune, PCM Explorer and the Jasper County Advertiser asked readers to vote for their favorite businesses. Over 20,000 votes were tallied from both print and online ballots. The results of the survey are listed in this annual special edition. Many local businesses have extended their gratitude to you and appreciate your continued support. In the coming weeks, you will see many certificates displayed throughout Jasper County. These certificates recognize our winners. Please congratulate them all on their accomplishments!
