    • Hi Ben,
      The awards are based on reader votes, so all you need to do is tell people to go vote for your product. This year's voting period just started and we are taking votes at carolinacountry.com/finest. Feel free to share on your social media and website. Good luck!

  • Love the magazine. Wait every month to read it cover to cover. Love the recipes and I love the chance to participate in a chance to win 100.00. Keep it up. North Carolina is a beautiful state and should be enjoyed by all. I challenge you all to Take a road trip but never cross over into another state and just experience the awesomeness that NC has to offer. When I was younger my friend Sherry and I would open up the NC map and one of of us would close our eyes and circle our right hand 3 times and point to a place on the map. We would find the closest attraction to that area and that’s where we would go. We have been to a dentist office close to the coast, to a tobacco barn close to the mountains and outdoor dramas both on the coast and in Cherokee. We would pack a picnic and head out. Boy those were the days. It was so much fun anticipating what we would truly see. We laughed so much. So I challenge you to do the same. Safe travels!!!!
