The Connecticut State Tourism Board just launched the second annual celebration of the places and spaces that make our state a revolutionary place.
The Connecticut Fan-Favorite: Town program asks people to vote for the Connecticut town that they think most embodies the spirit of the state’s brand, still revolutionary, by being a home for original ideas, inspiration and innovation. As part of the contest, participants will also have the opportunity to vote for the business, destination or attraction within that town that inspires them.
The top 10 favorite towns will receive some serious promotional support and the winning town will also receive a two-minute video showcasing their innovative, inspiring and unique places and bragging rights for all of 2013. And the business or attraction in the winning town with the most votes also will be featured in the video.
Seriously, let's do this Danbury. Let's get Danbury in the top 10. As of right now, we're #32. We can do better than that.
You can vote once a day on the Visit Connecticut Facebook page through May 15th. For each vote cast, you'll be entered to win a getaway to the Connecticut River Valley. The winner will receive a two-night stay and dinner for two at the historic Griswold Inn in Essex, a two-night stay and dinner at the Bee and Thistle Inn in Old Lyme, free entry for two to the Gillette Castle in East Haddam, a $50 gift card to use at Pattaconk Bar & Grille in Chester and a behind-the-scenes tour of the Florence Griswold Museum in Old Lyme. And, for every person you convince, nag or bribe to vote in the contest you'll receive an additional entry to win.
Don't worry, if you're not on Facebook, you can still vote via "snail mail."
