Vote Grinnell as one of the "coolest small towns in America"

We received this message from Bill Menner, Director of POW I-80, earlier today:
I noted on the Budget Travel website a ‘coolest small towns in America’ headline. The website/magazine was seeking nominations for interesting towns of under 10,000.

So, I nominated Grinnell – citing the city’s sense of community, history, architecture, recreational opportunities and the College. They received more than 150 nominations, and culled that list to 22 finalists.

Grinnell is among them! And it’s the only place in Iowa among the 22.

Now, we need you to go vote. And we need your friends, family, co-workers, distant relatives, acquaintances, etc, to cast their votes, too.

Go here to vote and say a few nice things about the community!

You’ll note that the two coasts are heavily represented. We need to ensure some geographic diversity!!
As of this post, Grinnell was sixth with 654 votes. Huntingdon, Pennsylvania led all finalists with 3,593 votes. Make your voice heard. Vote and help make Grinnell first!
