One week left to vote for the Best of WNC!

It’s big … it’s beastly … it’s mythological … and it’s lurking! It’s the Best of Western North Carolina 2012: Local Legends.

Voting began July 27 and runs through Aug. 22. Go to bestofwnc.com to vote.

WNC has many legends: Popcorn Sutton, the underground crystal lairs, James Franco the competent contra dancer. But those are fish tales compared to the real local legends — the ones you can eat, listen to at a club, hang on your wall or go to for a flower barrette or a yoga class. Meaning, of course, the Best of WNC, as determined by you, our readers.

There’s only one way to participate in this year’s poll: VOTE.

We’ve added new categories this year to keep up with the mayhem and magic, and our ballot system is as easy as ever. The results will be revealed in two issues, Oct. 10 and Oct. 17. We’ll also reveal this year’s Best of WNC mascot. Hint: It’s not James Franco.

Thanks for reading through to the end…

We share your inclination to get the whole story. For the past 25 years, Xpress has been committed to in-depth, balanced reporting about the greater Asheville area. We want everyone to have access to our stories. That’s a big part of why we’ve never charged for the paper or put up a paywall.

We’re pretty sure that you know journalism faces big challenges these days. Advertising no longer pays the whole cost.

We hope you’ll consider signing up to be a member of Xpress. For as little as $5 a month — the cost of a craft beer or kombucha — you can help keep local journalism strong. It only takes a moment.
