Top Neighbors: The magic behind the mirrors
You will never have to pay to be listed as a top neighbor. Period. That important detail clarified, let's discuss how we arrive at two "top neighbors" for a given region:
Localism is a bustling collection of hyper-local communities, and the top neighbors should reflect those members who are most active. When ranking users in a given region, several factors are considered. To get your foot in the proverbial door, you need to have posted at least one "Localism" article or photo for the region.
The very best way to quickly rise to #1 is to post high-quality local content. Keeping a steady strem of incoming posts and photos will massively tilt the scales in your favor.
What doesn't count toward the top neighbor ranking? ActiveRain points and community sponsorships. The top neighbor spots will always go to the most active members in a region. We want to create a level playing field that encourages the growth of communities — talent and dedication are required to win the day.

Items available include lamps, cabinets, coffee mugs, stained glass, paintings, prints, photography, woven rugs, marble benches, birdbaths, brooms, socks, hats, and jewelry. Also, of course, is the food. There was the Vermont Cheese, Beer and Sausage tent featuring Vermont-brewed beers, The food court was also a hit with items such as organic wood fired pizza, fresh apple cider, homemade ice cream and crepes.
There was also a food vendor tent. Here you can sample many of
products before you buy. They range from chocolate, to nuts, to maple liqueur, to cheese, to dips and, of course, maple syrup. The food items not only make great gifts, you can treat yourself to them too! 
The displays of artwork ranged from watercolor, to acrylic and oil. Several local photographers also displayed their various views from cows to barns and mountains.
