American Bus Association names Alabama events to Top 100 list

The American Bus Association has named the “Festival of Flowers” in Mobile and the “Galaxy of Lights” at the Huntsville Botanical Garden to its 2009 list of the “Top 100 Events in North America.” The Top 100 list was chosen from among 524 events nominated by state and local tourism officials in the U.S. and Canada. A 14-member selection committee of tour operators based its picks on the events’ broad appeal, their accessibility to groups arriving by motorcoach, and other criteria. The full list of 2009 winners can be found on www.buses.org.
