Alton Main Street events, Laugh for a Cause and Pro Automotive’s Brakes for Breasts

Our Daily Show features three local initiatives: Alton Main Street’s Downtown Alton Chili Cook-Off and final Alton Farmers and Artisans Market of the season; Laugh for a Cause, a comedy fundraiser for a new Riverbend-area nonprofit; and Pro Automotive Services’ Brakes for Breasts campaign in Wood River.

Alton Main Street’s Sara McGibany discusses the cook-off at Flock, with chili tasting, People’s Choice voting and live music, along with the farmers market’s closing weekend. Cora Miller, Ty Beckel and Jill Moon explain how Laugh for a Cause at the Wood River Moose Lodge will support Beckel’s nonprofit and its planned services for other organizations. Jennifer Baggett describes Pro Automotive’s October brake offer, including free brake pads and inspections and a donation of 10% of brake repair proceeds to breast cancer vaccine research.
