Planet JH: Best Contemporary Art Gallery is Lyndsay McCandless Contemporary

For the first time in Jackson Hole, the Best of results are in. This online voting poll marked the best known secrets (or not so secrets) in the valley. The Planet Jackson Hole put together various categories and allowed readers to vote for their favorites. Topping the charts as the Best Contemporary Art Gallery in Jackson was Lyndsay McCandless Contemporary. LMC was just one of the many winners of this "by the people" poll. The categories ranged from the serious to the silly hitting every topic in between.

In honor of this all important Best Of poll, the Planet Jackson Hole put on a celebratory event at 43 North on Tuesday evening. The party had complimentary food and OB-1 (voted best beer) and people of all ages from all walks of life in the valley were in attendance. It's not very often that you find an orthopedic surgeon and the wait staff from Bubba's in the same room, (at least when the workman's special isn't involved.) As I looked around the room, I saw a lot of familiar faces. I thought to myself, "How lucky am I to live in a place where I recognize so many people?" It is a rarity in the world outside of Jackson, and one we often take for granted. The community center is tight here in Jackson and thank you to the Planet for reminding us all of that.
