For the third consecutive year, Southern Living, one of the nations most read publication with an international circulation, has recognized Blowing Rock one of its favorite places in the South.
The magazine’s readers cast their ballots by the thousands in the 2007 Southern Living Readers’ Choice Awards, picking their top getaways, and 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 justifiably proud that the town is now a three-time Readers’ Choice Award winner.
“Blowing Rock is now firmly established as a premier mountain destination by Southern Living.,” Brown said. “With nearly 3,000,000 readers in 17 Southeastern states and the District of Columbia, we couldn’t ask for a better endorsement.”
In recognition of the achievement, the Southern Living Readers’ Choice Award logo can be used on all Blowing Rock marketing materials for the next year.
