Deadline nears, Carson City leading in USA Today 10 Best readers poll
Maintaining a lead through much of December, the voting deadline nears for a USA Today contest where Carson City is among several vying for "the best travel worthy state capital."
Now through Monday, readers can pick their favorite state capital city destination by casting a vote. A digital clock found here tells you how many days, hours, minutes and seconds are left to vote. As of Saturday morning, Carson City remained in the number one spot followed by Juneau, Alaska and Boise, Idaho.
Helping with the push has been Kyle Horvath, social media manager for the Carson City Visitors Bureau and Joe Reinbolt of Carson City who developed a crowd sourcing page where people can contribute money to spread the word in social media about the poll. All contributions will be posted and made public on his community Facebook page, Carson City Pix.
USA Today online regularly asks readers to help pick the "10 Best" in a single category which can range from food, lodging and destinations to travel gear and things to do. Travel experts select the 20 top nominees and then readers like you make the final selections.
In its writeup found by clicking here, this is what USA Today 10Best had to say about Carson City:
Carson City, Nevada, a small town of 50,000 (and growing), offers inexpensive lodging and food in a picturesque setting. Among the capital's attractions, often overlooked in favor of the glitz of Vegas, are the governor’s home a couple of blocks off the main street and the Nevada State Museum housed in the old mint where the famous “CC” silver dollars were produced. Lake Tahoe and Reno are nearby, making Carson City an excellent base from which to explore the Sierra Nevada.
Go here to vote. You can vote once per day until the contest ends. Go here to vote for Carson City.
