TACOMA REPRESENT >>>

Twenty Americans from across the country have nailed the chance to be crowned the "handiest of them all" in the new HGTV series, All American Handyman. One of the contestants is Tacoma artist, filmmaker, music promoter and apparently handyman Larry Huffines.

Through Oct. 12, America may vote for the best All American Handyman. C'mon South Sound, let's vote for Larry! Click here to vote.

From HGTV's website:

The goal of the series: to find America's best handyman (or handywoman), the one with real skill, integrity and the right stuff to impress the judges. To avoid elimination, contestants must showcase their abilities under the watchful gaze of HGTV's celebrity judges Mike Holmes, Holmes on Homes and Scott McGillivray, Income Property plus a secret weekly judge. All 20 contestants have proven they've got what it takes but only one will walk away with the coveted title of "All American Handyman," and a significant prize package.
