| IKEA is giving a $25,000.00 kitchen make over to the firehouse with the most votes.
My uncle works at the Palos firehouse, and their kitchen is a disaster. Keep in mind, they "live" in the house 24 hours a day! I would be grossed out by that kitchen! FYI, the firehouse is located in Palos Park, Illinois, which is a suburb of Chicago. |

| Done. |

| Done, and good luck, though I wish Ikea would give kitchen remodels to all those stations. None of them look very good, that the firefighters certainly deserve it. |
|
| Done. Good luck |
|
| I voted! I would have anyway, just for the good-looking crew! Are there pics of the kitchen? I didn't see any. |
|
| I voted, too. And, yes, please keep this at the top to remind us to all vote every day. Gotta love those firefighters. |

| Thanks for voting, everyone. jasdip, there are pictures. Click on the read more "link", located underneath the picture of the station. Then there are left and right arrows for viewing the pictures. Thanks for the encouragement to keep this at the top...I will do so! joann23456, I agree! It would be great if IKEA would help them all out in some way. |

| Just voted--Yonkers is coming up pretty fast and there's a long way to go yet, so I sure hope everyone will vote. You don't have to sign up and it takes 1 second to click on the Palos sign. I read their story and want them to win so bad!! |

| I just voted, also! Thanks, again! |
|
| hmmm...I just went and tried to vote and was told I had already voted today. I know I didn't vote already today and wonder if anyone else will maybe be experiencing this problem. |
|
| Sometimes the "vote each day" sites consider the 24-hour period. You may have voted 20 hours ago, so they won't accept it. You can try later and see if they will accept the vote. We are winning, so we need to persist! Hooray for the KT! |
|
| You may have voted 20 hours ago Ok, I'll maybe try and keep track of what day and hour I vote. Thanks. Sue |
|
| Well I just went again and tried it and it wouldn't do a thing...maybe I read the first message wrong or something... Anyway, I'll make my daily attempt and report if I have further trouble. |
|
| Done. |

| sue_va - that is too funny about voting for Yonkers! Keep up the good work, all. I'm going to be out of the country until after the contest ends, so I may not be heard from too much. Thanks to all the KT people who keep this on the front page. |

| Only 8 more days to vote, folks! Palos is ahead, but Yonkers could still come from behind at the last minute. I love to see how many vote during the day. If you read about the fire department's disgraceful kitchen, you've probably been voting every day, too. Those guys live and cook (somehow) there. They desperately need this. |
