Leah Almy’s voluptious lips received over 2,000 votes!

The voting poll has officially closed. No, not for president, for the best lips!

Voting was open to the public for The Cedar Springs Post Annual Best Lips Contest – 2013. In an effort to find the best lips anywhere, we invited the public to place their online vote at www.cedarspringspost.com. It’s just like American Idol, only with lips!

This year we posted 10 finalists and, after just five days, we had 5,702 total votes counted! The three top contenders included Leah Almy, Shelby Stremus and Diana Coughlin, all of the Cedar Springs area. It truly was a nose to nose finish with Almy garnering a total of 2,154 votes to beat out Diana Coughlin, who had 2,072. Stremus was closing in on a thousand votes with 814.

Only one entry per computer was allowed per day. Leah and the person of her choice will be treated to dinner for two at Big Boy’s and two tickets for a movie at The Kent Theatre, as well as the title for THE BEST LIPS for one full year. Congratulations Leah.

Prizes can be picked up at The Post after the 14th.
