Our Daily Show! With CJ: Ft. Alton Museum of History & Art, United Way, and More!

Start your Friday morning with an important community conversation and a look at how local efforts continue to make a meaningful impact across the Riverbend.

At 9:20 AM, CJ sits down with representatives from the Alton Museum of History & Art for a critical discussion surrounding the museum’s closure, its current status, and what the future may hold. This is a conversation the community has been waiting for, as we work to better understand the challenges, decisions, and possibilities tied to one of Alton’s beloved cultural institutions.

At 10:35 AM, Rose McCowan joins us by phone to preview the 18th Annual Labor & United Way Trap Shoot and BBQ. We’ll talk about the strong tradition behind the event, how union members continue to come together in support of working families, and what participants can expect—from a morning at the Winchester Shooting Facility in East Alton to a barbecue gathering at Machinists Lodge 660 Hall. The event not only brings people together, but also raises critical support for United Way programs that serve communities across the region.

A Friday focused on transparency, community impact, and the power of people coming together for something bigger.
