Is Bradenton 'America's Friendliest Small Town'?

People are invited to vote often and leave their reviews on why Bradenton should be named the 'friendliest' small city in America.

Hey, neighbor, is Bradenton the friendliest small town in America?

The "Friendly City" is in the running to be bestowed that honor in Rand McNally’s “Best of the Road 2013” contest.

This is a people's choice award, and the Bradenton Area Convention & Visitors Bureau is inviting folks to vote and make Bradenton a winner. Not only can you vote for Bradenton to be No. 1, you also can leave a review. Here is what your friends and neighbors are saying so far:

  • Bradenton's Riverwalk has something for everyone: skatepark, public art, fishing pier, day dock, great lawn, gardens, splash pad, and more.
  • A great, patriotic place that I am happy we found!            
Voting and rating Bradenton on the Rand McNally site is easy. Here's how:

1) Click here to register, and then look for Bradenton. Vote in the “Friendliest” category.

2) Vote as often as you like. People can vote once a day until voting ends on Sept. 3.
