The Weekly Poll Results! 🎈
I hope everyone was able to celebrate the iconic birthday of our dearly beloved friend Elmo two weeks ago! Since it was Elmo's birthday, we had to ask "Who is the best Sesame Street Character?!" This was tough for Elmo because Elmo didn't win (even on their birthday!) The other icons who didn't get gold include: Fozzie the Bear, Cookie Monster, Bert & Ernie, and Count von Count. The winner is a character to whom we all can relate to and that is OSCAR THE GROUCH!
