The latest local news, weather and high school sports in and around Columbia and Jefferson City

We now have the 13 finalists for our “Focus on the Road” campaign. For the last few months we’ve asked mid-Missourians to put down the cell phones and take the pledge to driver safer and “focus on the road.” Along with taking the pledge, viewers got the chance to enter to win a brand new 2012 Ford Focus.

Our 13 finalists are…

1. Bob Greenwood, of Fayette
2. Julie Hill, of Hamilton
3. Katlyn Borgmeyer, of Loose Creek
4. Joanna Mealy, of Portland
5. Edwena Shock, of California
6. Jeanne Exendine, of Mexico
7. Jody Stotsky, of Columbia
8. Lee Medlock, of Bland
9. Terrie Frey, of Eldon
10. Shirley Branson, of Dixon
11. Julie Reinkemeyer, of Jefferson City
12. Patty Haag, of Jefferson City
13. John Watson, of Fulton

On Monday, each of the finalists will get a key and one at a time will see if their key starts the engine.

Tune in to the KRCG Evening News at 6 p.m. on Monday to see who wins the Ford Focus!

Thanks to everyone who entered and took the pledge to make Missouri’s roadways safer by “focusing on the road.”
