Coca-Cola's 2nd annual America Is Your Park campaign is under way, and you could help get your favorite park a prize of $25,000, $50,000 or, yep, $100,000!
Voting continues through Sept. 6.
The money can be used to restore, rebuild or enhance recreation areas.
As I'm writing this, Estes Park as 32 votes and is in 494th place. Curecanti National Recreation Area has 20 votes and is in 643rd place. Mueller State Park has 610 votes and is in 91st place.
Hey, let's get Mueller into the Top 3!!
How do you vote?
+ Go to the LivePositively.com website and click on your favorite park and vote.
+ Upload photos of yourself in your favorite park.
+ "Check in” from your favorite park using Facebook Places.
+ Starting Aug. 10, upload video of yourself in your favorite park.
The campaign is part of Coca-Cola's Live Positively initiative, developed in collaboration with the National Park Foundation, America’s State Parks and the National Recreation and Park Association.
Last year, more than 1.6 million votes were cast for Bear Head Lake State Park in Ely, Minn. The park is using its grant money to build a warming hut to ensure safety and comfort for winter sports enthusiasts.
Coca-Cola has donated more than $14 million for restoration and renovation of parks, including the restoration of more than 260 miles of “Active Trails” for families to hike and explore, and development of the first sustainable recycling program at The National Mall.
