The rest of the world has discovered what we already knew. Glen Rose has been voted "America's Dream Town" in a national competition that concluded at midnight, New Years Eve. Glen Rose edged out Taylor Nebraska as the top vote getter, 52,501 to 45,129.

What does being named "America's Dream Town" include? For starters, Glen Rose will be featured in a book titled, "America's Dream Towns" along with one winner from each state. Since Glen Rose is the national winner, Glen Rose will be featured on the cover of the book. Glen Rose will also be featured on a one hour television program, which will air at a time to be announced. Perhaps most important are bragging rights which Glen Rose now has by being "America's Dream Town."
