NEENAH, Wis., Oct. 9 /PRNewswire/ -- They say a picture is worth a thousand words, but for one lucky traveler it will prove much more valuable. In the Cottonelle(R) Puppy's 10th Destination Contest, the brand's familiar yellow Labrador Retriever invited visitors to follow his tracks to nine quirky U.S. locations and to help pick the 10th travel spot for a chance to win a $90,000 international trip for two.

Travelers across the country responded to the challenge, and after sifting through hundreds of quirky destinations, Cottonelle(R) has revealed the top 10. Visit http://www.puppytracksusa.com/ through Oct. 23 to vote for the destination peculiar enough to warrant an international trip of a lifetime for two. The choices:

-- Double Decker Outhouse - Booger Hollow, Ark.
-- Oz Museum - Wamego, Kan.
-- Queen Connie - Brandon, Vt.
-- Sponge Man - Key West, Fla.
-- The Golden Driller - Tulsa, Okla.
-- Toilet Seat Museum - Alamo Heights, Texas
-- Tom Haywood's Kicking Machine - New Bern, N.C.
-- World's Largest Ball of Twine - Cawker City, Kan.
-- World's Largest Chair - Anniston, Ala.

To encourage people to get out and explore the eccentric side of America, Cottonelle(R) teamed with actor and travel expert John Ratzenberger. Ratzenberger, who starred on the popular TV show "Cheers," hosts and produces the Travel Channel's "John Ratzenberger's Made in America" series about products manufactured in the U.S.

"With more than 550 roadside attractions to choose from, like the Giant Fire Hydrant in Texas and the World's Largest Guitar in Tennessee, travelers had their work cut out for them. However, America stepped up to the challenge," said Ratzenberger. "What's quirkier? The World's Largest 'Do Not Litter' sign or a statue of a man made entirely of sponges? A double-decker outhouse or a toilet-seat museum? Only you can decide. Vote today to determine who should win the vacation of a lifetime!"

"The Cottonelle(R) Puppy represents the fun and curiosity that creates memories and brings people closer together," said Stu Schneider, associate marketing director for the Cottonelle(R) Brand. "The Cottonelle(R) Brand has been there for families during some of life's most memorable moments, and remains committed to encouraging people to get out and create those memories."

The winner of the Cottonelle(R) Puppy's 10th Destination Contest will receive a $90,000 international trip for two that includes airfare, accommodations and ground transportation. In addition, the Grand Prize winner will receive a digital camera and a photo album. All ten finalists will receive a digital video camera, a $1,000 gas card, and a portable DVD player. All entries were judged based on the quirky, lighthearted and humorous nature of the destination, the caption, and the 25-word essay.
