You may recall my offer earlier in the year to buy lunch at Hamilton's for the first person who could identify who was behind the chicken suit.

The clear winner was Dianne Martin with the Sorensen Institute for Political Leadership. The second runner up was Charlottesville City Councilor David Toscano. The third runner up was former Independent candidate Eric Strucko, who guessed that the identity was former City Councilor John Conover, because of the hairy legs.

Was there speculation about the upcoming city council election? You betcha. But you won't hear about it here.

Congratulations to all.
