Count On Me NC
 “Count on Me NC” is an initiative the North Carolina Restaurant and Lodging Association (NCRLA), along with the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services (NC DHHS), the North Carolina Tourism Bureau (VisitNC), and the North Carolina State University, launched to provide customers reassurance that participating restaurants and businesses, including lodging, have implemented and are practicing the highest sanitation and safety measures. Training and certification are free. For more information, please visit: countonme.org Have you completed your training?

Be sure to verify your business name, address, and category for accuracy. If corrections are needed, send them to countonmenc@ncrla.org. If your business listing is NOT appearing on the CountOnMeNC.org site, submit your information via the link here. Note that it can take 24-48 hours for corrections or additions to appear on the website. Any questions or concerns with that submission link should also be directed to the NCRLA team at countonmenc@ncrla.org.

For a list of Blowing Rock businesses who have already completed the training, visit https://countonmenc.org/participating-businesses/#business-list and input Blowing Rock in the "Search by City" field.
