Floyd, Va.: Vote for Your Favorite Southern Small Town!!

Source: Vote – Floyd, Va. – Best Southern Small Town Nominee: 2015 10Best Readers’ Choice Travel Awards

We want people to know about Floyd, visit Floyd, enjoy Floyd and buy goods (arts, crafts and entertainment) and service (meals, lodging) in Floyd and come again.

We want to avoid Floyd being loved to death. It’s a bit of a tightrope.

Share this with your friends!
