The push continues to make Lumby Kraft Hockeyville.

Voting took place throughout Sunday, but efforts are escalating Monday as the community hopes to break out of the top 10 and become one of the two finalists for the coveted tittle and $100,000 in arena upgrades.

"Charles Bloom Secondary School is allowing students to vote in rotating blocks today," said Angie Clowry, one of the campaign organizers.

"Businesses are encouraging customers to use their Wifi and most businesses in Lumby have removed their Wifi pass codes or given out their codes."

The Lumby Visitors Centre continues to be the headquarters with people stopping by to vote,

"I have helped eight people myself to use a computer for the first time ever," said Clowry.

Residents of the North Okanagan and people across B.C. and around the world also continue to vote for Lumby.

"We are encouraging people to just keep voting," said Clowry.

Voting wraps up at 9 p.m. Monday at khv2016.ca and computer access is also available at the Downtown Internet Lounge in Vernon.

The top two finalists will be announced Saturday and then voting for the top spot begins March 20.

"Who ever gets the top vote hosts an NHL game and gets the arena upgrades," said Clowry.
