We Made the Coolest Top 8!


Karen Christen
 

Our fans are the very best!  We did, indeed, make it into the Top 8 Coolest Things Made in Illinois.  We’re now up against a formidable foe – 17th Street BBQ Sauce, which has a large following.  So we’d love your help!  You can use the URL or QR code below to go to the voting site.  Choose one product from each pair and click the Cast Your Vote button at the bottom.  You can vote once per day (per device or IP address).  The site does not ask you for any personal information.  Thank you so much!!

Thanks marj,
No worries, it's not so surprising to me, I get that quite often, where things won't play due to regional restrictions - it's probably to do with media licensing over here....

Possibly use a vpn link to the States.  I’m using my vpn to vote from all the different states so I can vote 25+ times on the same computer.

The new round that started Tuesday has 8 companies, each company paired with one other. In our case, we are competing against a BBQ sauce. You must vote in each of the four categories.

I also voted, but same thing in Belgium: 'this video content is not available in your region'
I think it's all of Europe.

I'm finding I can vote as many times as I want so long as I open a fresh incognito (Chrom) window each time. It never seems to catch on.  It's just about getting tired of doing it over and over (and I think I might feel guilty, or worse get you disqualified, if I wrote a program to do it a few million tims). 

Illinois/Chicago of course having such a reputation for fair, honest elections.  :)
