It’s time to head online and vote once again for Hillsborough in Budget Travel’s “America’s Coolest Small Town” contest!

Hillsborough was the nation’s top vote-getter in the first phase of the online vote – but now the scores have reset to zero as the top 15 vote-getters move into the semifinals. The top 10 will get a write-up in Budget Travel magazine – but the leading vote-getter this time will be crowned “America’s Coolest Small Town” for the year 2015.

You can vote online once a day, every day, from now through February 25 by visiting BudgetTravel.com; it takes less than a minute to vote. Right now Hillsborough is running third, with Grand Marais, Minnesota in the lead. (It’s on Lake Superior, an hour south of the Canadian border.)

WCHL’s Aaron Keck spoke with Hillsborough Mayor Tom Stevens, as the town starts working to get out the vote.
