Coca-Cola Contest Could Net Hampton $100K
The contest is to find "America's Favorite Park."
The Coca-Cola Company has launched a massive Internet contest in search of "America's Favorite Park," and the winner will win a $100,000 recreation grant.
Over 45,000 votes have already been cast, and several Hampton and North Hampton parks and conservation areas are on the list.
There are several ways to vote for your favorite park this summer, including a Foursquare check-in, logging your daily run on MayMyFitness or clicking to vote online.

Voting can take place once a day. Double vote days fall on June 21 and July 13-14, which is the last weekend to vote.

But the winnings don't end at first place. Second and third place parks in the contest will be awarded grants of $50,000 and $25,000 respectively. A fourth park will be chosen at random from the parks that finish 4th through 25th. That park will get a $15,000 grant.
