2021 Top 3 Faces of Jackson County

 / January 4, 2022

Since we began the Faces of Jackson County project, we have had the chance to interview over 100 of Jackson County residents. In 2021, we again were honored to interview even more locals that own businesses, are students, teachers, firemen, coaches, pastors, police officers and many more!

We have pulled together the top Faces of Jackson County posts of 2021 and we invite you to scroll through and take a minute to read more about your neighbors interests, dreams and love of the Jackson County community!

In 2022, please feel free to contact us if you have a nomination for our community project.
