Readers' Choice: The Best Local Staycation

This week's Readers' Choice topic - a local staycation.

So what do you do with that time off, but no desire to travel?

Is it hiking or biking the Rails to Trails system? Or is it hiking the Hockanum trail system?

Is it relaxing on the beach at Valley Falls?

How about living the history of the New England Civil War Museum?

A few laps at Ron-a-Roll? Taking the Kids to Dart Hill park or any of the local playscapes?

Do you invest in a pool or hot tub?

Give us your staycation nominations over the next two days.

Each week in Readers’ Choice, we ask all of you for help in highlighting the best of Vernon. Here’s how it works.

• We'll ask a question about your favorites.
• We invite you to post your nominations in the comments below.
• We hope you'll also spread the word about this to your friends on Facebook and Twitter and get them involved.
• Feel free to submit comments until 5 p.m. Tuesday.

Then:

• We'll take the top three or four nominees and post an article first thing Wednessday morning.
• That article will include a poll with the top nominees.
• After the poll starts, you'll be able to vote until Friday at 9 a.m.
• On Saturday, we announce the winner.
