Remember when we asked you to vote for Wellington in the America's Favorite Small Town contest? 👀 Well, your participation paid off! 🙌🏼

More than 300 towns from across the country were nominated for the 2026 contest, hosted by Parade and Steller in celebration of America's 250th birthday. ❤️🤍💙 Through a nationwide voting process, that impressive list was narrowed down to just 40 finalists! We're proud to share that Wellington was one of them!🥳

As a finalist, Wellington was featured in a special edition released by Parade Magazine, showcasing communities that make small-town America so special. 🫶🏼

We are incredibly grateful to have been nominated, and even more honored to have been selected as a finalist. This recognition is a reflection of the people, businesses, organizations, volunteers, and community spirit that make Wellington such a wonderful place to live, work, and visit. 💕

Thank you to everyone who took the time to vote and support our community. Your involvement helped put Wellington on a national stage, and we couldn't be prouder of what we accomplished together. 👏🏼
