Your Favorite Local Celebrity
1st Place: Bon Iver (Justin Vernon)
2nd Place: The Gordy’s Guru
3rd Place: Jacob Leinenkugel
It’s no surprise that you voted the Chippewa Valley’s very own Justin Vernon of Bon Iver fame as your Numero Uno Favorite Local Celebrity. The eclectic band of cutting edge music makers helped put our music scene on the national map with two massively popular LPs. There are few words to describe the pride and joy they instill in our collective hearts. Long may you jam and prosper! In second place is his sageness — the endearing, colorfully visible, character-about-town, The Gordy’s Guru. With all the radio and TV spots, plus appearances at Express games, we always know where to get Pump Perks. Our third very most favorite celeb is quite a spirited fellow (bless him) who brought a name and great brew to this little region we call home — Jacob Leinenkugel. — TC
