#5.  Cheaper Gas

Jordan Lopshire commented, "Gas is like 20 cents cheaper than where I live in Coldwater."  We confirmed that Jordan was pretty close by using the gas buddy app.  Right now the average gas price per gallon in Tekonsha is $2.59 versus Coldwater $2.75.


 

#4.  The Annual Community Garage Sale

Lynda Smith commented, "The annual community garage sale ...... It's huge!!!!"

Lynda is right.  It's huge.  The number of people in Tekonsha more than double as thousands of people come to this small town of 706 people.  This community garage sale has been going strong for 35 years now and took place this year August 30th-Sept 1st.


 

#3.  Tekonsha Animal Hospital - 828 N Main St,
Tekonsha, Michigan

Lisa Alger commented, "My Vet’s office. Tekonsha Animal Hospital. There are a lot of Vets closer to my house, but Dr. Tammy Lons & her staff are the BEST!!!!"

Lisa G. left this 5-start review on YellowPages.com,

Wonderful and caring staff. Staff do follow up home calls to see how everything is with your pet(s). Your pet(s) are treated like the staff's own. Many vets told us what we knew, our Lilly was over weight and needed to drop lbs. Tekonsha was the only pet doc who took action and followed up. Our Lilly is dropping lbs. after gaining weight when we got her fixed yrs. back. Thank you Tekonsha staff for caring.
