USA Today conducted an online contest recently, inviting members of the public to vote for the Best Small Town Cultural Scenes in the United States.
Ten towns were included in the poll:

- El Dorado, Arkansas
- Haddonfield, New Jersey
- Nashville, Indiana
- Occidental, California
- Perham, Minnesota
- Point Pleasant, West Virginia

When the votes were tallied, Chautauqua took top honors, with Haddonfield the runner-up.
In commenting on the award, Mayor Neal Rochford said, “We in Haddonfield pride ourselves in our one-of-a-kind Downtown experience with beautiful tree-lined streets and well-preserved historic buildings that now are home to over 200 businesses. We hope that this continued recognition will encourage those who haven’t experienced our historic town, to come and visit for the day when in the Delaware Valley area.”
