Cubs vs. Sox Vote-Off
Join us for our second annual Cubs vs. Sox vote-off! White Sox fans won
last
year, but the final tally was close.
Here's your chance (Cubs fans) to
turn the tables this year... or (Sox fans) to stick it to Cubs fans yet
again.
Stop by the reference (back) desk to participate. Voters for the
winning team will be entered in a drawing to win a Cubs or Sox themed
prize.
Vote early, vote often (...well, we do limit votes to one per day)!
Voting
starts May 1 and runs through the end of the month.
Who will win the title of Chicago Heights' favorite team in 2012??
