Everyone has been waiting for weeks for today.  ABC's 'Extreme Makeover: Home Edition' comes to the Heart of Illinois to makeover a home for the Grys family in Pekin.  Rumors had been circulating for the past week about WHO the family was.  The Grys family made a video back in May of 2007 asking to be on the show and get a makeover.  And when the executive producer of the show stopped by the HOI 19 studios a few weeks ago, he announced that five families in the Heart of Illinois were finalists for an extreme makeover.  Many people started assuming the Grys family was one of them.

Extreme Makeover Home Edition is in Pekin and HOI-19 has packed its newscasts to show you what's happening and how you can help!
