Southern Living Magazine Honors Blowing Rock With 2006 Readers’ Choice - Favored Destination Award

Southern Living readers by the thousands recently cast their ballots in the magazine’s 2006 Readers’ Choice Awards, responding to the magazine’s request to pick their favorite places in the South. Blowing Rock was voted a Favorite Mountain Destination; only Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge and Asheville garnered more votes.
Blowing Rock Tourism Development Authority Executive Director Tracy Brown was thrilled with the award. “This is great recognition for Blowing Rock, but even more, it will spur increased visitation from Southern Living readers who rely on the magazine’s recommendations for places to experience and stay,” Brown said.
Southern Living has nearly 3,000,000 readers in 17 Southeastern states and the District of Columbia.
