Beardsley
Zoo. Seaside Park. The Ballpark at Harbor Yard. The Webster Bank Arena.
The Discovery Museum. St. Mary’s by the Sea. The aforementioned are
just a sampling of the Park City places that can make Bridgeport a
winner in the state’s ‘Fan-Favorite Town’ competition. Connecticut’s
Office of Tourism, a division of the Department of Economic and
Community Development, is sponsoring the contest, which urges users to
log on to Facebook to select their favorite City or town and attractions
throughout the state to win the title of ‘Fan-Favorite.’
Participants
can vote once a day, every day until May 15, and each vote is an entry
to win a Grand Prize package which includes dinners, overnight stays and
free admission to some of Connecticut’s popular sites.
“Bridgeport
has so much to offer its residents and guests,” said Mayor Bill Finch.
“I encourage anyone who has experienced a ballgame at HarborYard, or
seen the tigers at the Beardsley Zoo – whether you live in Bridgeport or
not, to vote for the Park City as ‘Fan Favorite’. Our residents know
how revolutionary Bridgeport can be, so let’s show the whole state.”
