All summer long children have been voting for their favorite dinosaur in Hockessin Library's Dinosaur Showdown. What started as 16 dinosaurs came down to the last two in a heated race to the very finish. And while Brachiosaurus ended the showdown with 76 votes it is Tyrannosaurus Rex with 107 votes who comes out the victor and is Hockessin's Favorite Dinosaur!

Thank you to everyone who participated. We had a great time!
