Well, ten people answered the city’s open call for candidates to fill the open seat left by Pres. Kerry Kincaid. Some of the names you’ve heard before (such as Beryl Middleton), and many you have not (unless you are related to them, or live next to them, or run into them regularly at Kwik Trip for your daily donuts ‘n’ coffee run or something).

At tonight’s public hearing council meeting (7pm), each applicant will have a chance to speak to the council. Not sure if they will field interview questions from the council (If you could be a fruit, what would it be?), but the public gets to watch. Kind of like American Idol, but instead of a recording contract, the winner gets to help debate our city’s leash laws.
