After a busy weekend of voting and sharing, Knoxville has beaten Chattanooga to move on to the final round of the Blue Ridge Outdoors Magazine's Top Towns contest.

The new round of voting starts Monday, August 31 at noon at http://www.blueridgeoutdoors.com/top-towns/.

"We were ecstatic this morning when we saw all the voting that had taken place over the weekend. While we were sharing on all of our social media platforms, our friends and fans really took this to heart and we appreciate them," says Visit Knoxville President, Kim Bumpas. "We know what a Top Town we have here. Now we have to overcome Charleston, West Virginia. Please keep voting for Knoxville and, hopefully, we will see you in the November issue of Blue Ridge Outdoors magazine."  

When you are voting for Knoxville or sharing the message, please tag @visitknoxville on Twitter or Instagram. We are also on Facebook and Pinterest. Keep voting and remember #knoxrocks.

The final championship round will run for TWO weeks from noon on Monday, August 31 until 9:00 a.m. on Monday, September 14.  

Blue Ridge Outdoors will conceal the percentage results in the final championship rounds and publicly reveal and announce the winners in their November issue!  

Everyone who is in the game is a winner in the sense that the Blue Ridge Outdoors editorial staff chose and considers these destinations to be the best outdoor towns/cities in our footprint. The magazine will include all cities in the November issue and showcase and shine the light on the winners in the Small, Medium, and Large categories of Top Towns 2015.
