Finishing fourth last year in the Connecticut Fan Favorite Town contest “just isn’t good enough” said Putnam Business Association (PBA) President Jeff Rawson. The PBA has undertaken an aggressive grass roots campaign to get the town recognized as this year’s Connecticut’s Fan Favorite Town.

The  Fan  Favorite  Town  contest,  an  annual  contest  on  Facebook  run  by  the  Connecticut  Office  of Tourism, let’s people vote on a daily basis for their favorite Connecticut destination and their favorite spot in that town. People casting votes are automatically entered for a chance to win a getaway to last year’s inaugural winner Niantic, which includes a four-night stay at the Inn at Harbor Hill Marina.

In addition to bragging rights, the town that wins this year’s contest will receive substantial support from the Connecticut Office of Tourism in terms of advertising, marketing, public relations and social media presence.

The PBA launched a new marketing campaign and visitor’s website (www.DiscoverPutnam.com) this year with the theme Discover Putnam to enhance Putnam’s reputation as a great New England travel destination. The PBA is hoping to capitalize on the success of the campaign and website to win this year’s contest. PBA member and owner of the Flying Carpet Studio Ann Monteiro said she believes “Putnam is poised to become the cultural center of not only Connecticut but all of New England.”

According to the latest results posted by the Connecticut Office of Tourism on their Facebook page on July 11, Putnam was ranked number one in the voting ahead of fellow Eastern Connecticut towns Niantic, Mystic and New London.

The PBA has taken to social media to spread the word to their followers to vote for Putnam as this year’s Connecticut Fan Favorite Town. They are asking residents and fans of the town to vote daily until the conclusion of the contest on July 25.
