Tell your mom, tell your dad, tell your siblings, tell your friends that the I Love Lake County Song Search Fan Voting is closing on April 19 at 11:59 p.m.
The winner of Fan Vote will play at Libertyville Brewery Mickey Finn's.
In this process of finding our Ultimate Grand Prize winner, we've witnessed an excessive amount of talent that Lake County has to offer. Many of the participants in this competition can play more than one instrument, let alone producing their own music and lyrics.
Keep checking our blog for spotlight bios as we will concoct one for each of the participants of this competition. This issue of the I Love Lake County Song Search Spotlight: Scot Arcari
