Minnesota Monthly released their submissions for their Best MN Town search and St. Cloud is a top-10 finalist.

Mayor Dave Kleis said about the city of St. Cloud: “If you’re seeking a city that is “Best in Minnesota”, than look no further than St. Cloud. As the 8^th largest city in Minnesota, we deliver urban perks in a welcoming college-town setting along the mighty Mississippi River.”

The magazine received 24 finalists and the winner will be chosen by a panel of notable Minnesotans, the magazine’s editor, and the people of Minnesota. The criteria for each town will come from a questionnaire, qualitative and quantitative research, and a popular vote.

Voters can vote up to ten times per email address at www.bestmntown.org until Friday, October 12^th at 11:59 p.m.

The winner of the showcase will receive a media campaign in a multi-page editorial valued at over $50,000, and a party will be thrown in honor of the town.
