And the winning couple in online voting for the Dancing with the TV Divas contest is Laura Gibbs, 13 News Today anchor, and Joe Sosnowski, Rockford 1st Ward alderman. They received 470,259 (62 percent) of the 762,405 votes cast.
Voting at my blog (see the post a ways below this post) started July 8 and ended at 5 p.m. Thursday.
In second: Kimberly Nelson, WQRF-39 anchor, and State Sen. Dave Syverson with 251,742 votes (33 percent). They won last year.
Alice Barr, WIFR-23 reporter, and Joe Bruscato, Winnebago County state’s attorney, received 40,404 votes, or 5 percent.
The online poll was just for fun.
The real competition is Saturday at Burpee Museum of Natural History. The Bone Soiree museum fundraiser of dinner, dance contest, dance lessons and auction starts at 6 p.m. For more information, go to burpee.org or call 815-965-3433.

Hey Georgette -
There’s a writing style that I’ve seen in the paper of station call letters followed by channel. If that is the style you’re supposed to follow, why did you break style with Laura Gibbs?

Chuck: Laziness, hoping to be less repetitive, I guess. When I’m writing for my blog, I tend to be more informal. I had no ulterior motive. Should have said, Gibbs, 13 News Today anchor for WREX-13 (Comcast 3). I do need an editor.

Sosnowski looks like a fool. Shouldn’t he working on the large budget deficits he’s brought our city from Dekalb instead of goofing around dancing? Read the facts about Joe Sosnowski and don’t buy into fiction. jenkinsleggero.com/whatjoesnottellingyou.html
