Washington residents and others have several more days to vote for it as one of America’s Coolest Small Towns.

The voting deadline was Feb. 25, but Budget Travel magazine extended that deadline to 11:59 p.m. March 4. The other 14 contenders (in alphabetical order) are Allegan, Mich.; Berkeley Springs, W. Va.; Blanco, Texas; Chincoteague, Va.; Crested Butte, Colo.; Delhi, N.Y.; Fort Myers Beach, Fla.; Grand Marais, Minn.; Hillsborough, N.C.; Huron, Ohio; Ka’napali, Hawaii; Old Orchard Beach, Maine; Pismo Beach, Calif., and Snohomish, Wash.

As of Friday afternoon, Washington was in fifth place, behind (in descending order from first place) Grand Marais, Chincoteague, Hillsborough and Allegan. Rounding out the top 10 vote-getters among the 15 finalists are (in descending order) Delhi, Fort Myers Beach, Old Orchard Beach, Snohomish and Huron.

The effort to put Washington on the top-10 list continues, according to Lynn Wingate, Washington’s tourism-development director.

“We had a lot of energy during the first round. Unfortunately, due to the lag time between the two rounds, people forgot about it. Re-energizing the masses has been a challenge,” she wrote in an email.

“Currently, we are utilizing social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram to engage our audience. We have also tried to engage the merchants in town who use social media to help us get the word out,” she added.

“Our partners, like the Washington-Beaufort County Chamber of Commerce and WHDA (Washington Harbor District Alliance), (have) also sent out e-blasts to their members and audiences,” Wingate wrote.

The contest’s website includes a profile of each of the 15 nominated towns. The top 10 towns will be featured in an online feature and upcoming issue of Budget Travel.

The contest seeks towns with populations less than 10,000 people and “a certain something that no place has: great shops, food, a unique history, a breathtaking location, peerless music scene, art galleries or maybe something cool we haven’t thought of yet,” according to the Budget Travel website.

Berlin, Md., was America’s Coolest Small Town for 2014, according to the Budget Travel website.
