(WZZM) - The first ever Best of West Michigan Bracket Challenge wrapped up this week and Thursday morning we met the two finalists.

The Battle Creek Air and Balloon Festival beat the Gun Lake Casino in the finals getting over 25,000 votes to 23,000 for the casino.  Barb Haluszka, the Executive Director of the balloon festival and Laura Lanser, from the Gun Lake Casino joined Derek Francis on the Morning News to plug their attractions and tell how they got to be so successful.

Thank you to everyone who voted and played along.  I have a feeling we'll try this again next spring.
