Jefferson County Best of Hospitality Awards

Please join the Jefferson County Tourism Council in locating, nominating and honoring Jefferson County's BEST - the people that best promote our local businesses.

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 we want to hear about these experiences. Please reward those Jefferson County service people with a nomination for the 2nd annual JCTC Golden Pineapple Award!

It might be the waiter or waitress at your favorite cafe or restaurant - the one who knows your name and makes you feel special each time you come through the door. Or maybe it's your first visit to their establishment, but their service guarantees that you will return again. The store clerk who takes the time to find just what you are looking for. The receptionist who greets you at a hotel or bed & breakfast and ensures that your stay exceeds your expectations.

Whether you are a returning customer or new to that business, the person you nominate stands out above the rest, and is a star in Jefferson County. They help to make Jefferson County a "destination." And we don't think they get enough credit, so this annual award ceremony was created just for them!

The winner(s) will be recognized at the 2nd annual Best of Hospitality Award Dinner, which will be held at Carp's Landing Restaurant in Lake Mills on March 22. Last year's winner was Donna Ganser of Culvers in Johnson Creek. Runners-up included Becky Mehringer of Jelli's Market in Helenville and Gail Zastrow of the Jefferson County Fair Grounds.

This is your chance to nominate your favorite Jefferson County hospitality employee by providing their name and a short paragraph telling us why you believe they should be selected as the Best of Hospitality Award winner for 2011.

Let's honor those people on the front lines who take such good care of us!

Please submit your nomination(s) to Jennifer Erdman of the Jefferson County Tourism Council, or by visiting our website.

Nominations must be received by March 1, 2012.
