CAÑON CITY – Cañon City is anxiously awaiting the results of a fan vote that will decide if it will be featured on the Hulu show “Small Business Revolution- Main Street.”
The town will come together at 5 p.m. on Tuesday for a watch party at Cañon City High School. The announcement is scheduled to happen at 5:30 p.m.
If they win, Cañon City will be featured on the show’s fourth season and a select number of small businesses would be eligible to receive $500,000 for marketing and renovation help.
At the last update, at the end of voting, Cañon City was in third place but the show said it was a close race.
The town has held numerous events in efforts to convince the show’s crew to pick Cañon City as a finalist.
Musician Billy Joel has endorsed the Colorado town, stating a friend and former guitarist calls Cañon City home.
The other finalist towns include Camas, Washington; Corsicana, Texas; Durant, Oklahoma; Searcy, Arkansas; and Washington, North Carolina.
TV crews will begin filing at the winning town next month.
