When you hear about March Madness, most people think of college basketball, but here at the Trustees, we see March Madness as a fun way create a little friendly competition for our properties.
We asked some Trustees employees to each pick their favorite property amongst four main categories: Best Vista, Best Trail, Hidden Gem and Most Unique.
On the dates below, we will post a Photo Grid to our social media channels and open up the voting via comments. You can vote for your #1 pick in that category by writing your number selection in the comments. We will tally all votes in the comments until March 31st when the voting ends. You can see the full schedule below. The winning property (and category) will be announced on April 3rd!
Check out our nominations below and follow along on our social media channels to vote!
