We are down to the final three days of the Inn-Bedded Resorter Search and the candidates continue to campaign to prove themselves worthy to be in the top three. Their campaigns began at this NH vacation spot where each candidate made a spirited presentation to many of the Hotel’s Management Team, staff, and guests. Although each presentation was unique, they all took place in the famous Balsams Ballot Room, where Jerry Owen cast the first vote followed by the Resort Management Team and Hotel guests. Jerry has worked at The Balsams for over 40 years and is now the Hotel’s Reservations Manager.

Voting ends on June 29th so hurry up and cast your vote online! One winner will be chosen from the Top 3 on June 30th.
