Covington's 2015 Independence on the Square celebration brought plenty of people, music, celebration and fireworks to Newton County, and now it has a chance to bring additional recognition to the city.

Those nominees, which also include Laramie, Wyoming, Salisbury, North Carolina, Rutherford, New Jersey and Warrenton, Virginia, were put up for a public vote that can be found on the Covington News' Facebook page here: https://www.facebook.com/covnews.
