A huge thank you to everyone who voted in the Mountain Connection's Best of Contest last month!
285Bound.com won Best Home-Based Business and several of our Business Partners won for their categories as well! Congratulations to them from 285Bound and three cheers all around!

As part of our new partnership with the Mountain Connection, 285 Bound went around with Jacqueline Scott, the publisher and owner of Mountain Connection, and videotaped the winners as they received their awards. You can see all of the videos on
our YouTube Channel and learn a little more about those businesses that the people up here think are truly the best at what they do; you never know when you might need them.
We are honored to have been chosen and will continue to do our Best to become even better! Thank you again - we wouldn't be the best without you!
Best,
