Name Atlanta's Newest Trolley

WOW !! The response has been over whelming. We received more than 200 email about our name the new trolley contest. So many great names were submitted that we will keep many of them on file and consider them in the future as our fleet grows.

Here is what we have done:

We have picked the top 10 names from all the email we have received. We have created a poll on our blog. Go to our bog and vote on the name you think will represent Atlanta. The poll will be active for 2 weeks. At the end of the 2 weeks we will have our new name.

We have also kept all the email with the top 10 names so we can pick a winner to receive a free trolley and free Haunted History tour for picking the winning name. A name from all the winners will be drawn at random and you will get a feature in the next newsletter when we announce the name of the new trolley.

We want everyone to vote so please vote, vote, vote.

They enable guests who may be staying at a hotel to have transportation to the church, reception and back. They make a unique alternative to a limousine and create a lasting memory. Using them as transportation also ensures that guest who may celebrate the day a little to much have a safe way to return home.
