On Saturday, Lyons Township High School senior Alex Edwards took home the Mr. LT crown at the school’s annual talent show fundraiser though the big winners will be the students who will nab the Jack Kunkle Memorial Scholarship.
Still, considering last year’s event raised a total of $5,166.50 the event is proving to be an annual winner in the community, as Edwards, also named Mr. Popularity, brought in $2,057.89 by himself. Mr. Popularity is given to the competitor who raises the most money. Thomas Townsend was named the other big winner for the evening, earning Mr. Congeniality.
Junior Nicholas Edwards eats to win during the talent portion of the Mr. LT contest. Edwards’ talent was eating a lot of tater tots. Senior Mike Wyckoff hits the beach with an alien in tow and, at right, his escort, Drew Grech, in the swimsuit competition portion of the Mr. LT talent show.
