Our Daily Show! With Cj!: Ft. Ameren, Blog Talk, & Salvation Army!

Start your Thursday morning with holiday events, innovation, local storytelling, and community giving across the Riverbend!

At 9:00 AM, we kick things off with Paula and Jacqi as they bring us all the details on Grafton’s Holiday Treat Trail and the Winter Lights Parade. We’ll talk about how downtown Grafton transforms for the season — from treats and storefront fun to the glow of the parade along the river. They’ll share dates, times, and everything families need to know to make the most of these festive Grafton traditions.

At 9:20 AM, Mark Minden, Beneficial Electrification Executive with Ameren Illinois, joins us in studio to talk about free programs Ameren is offering to help residents and businesses considering a switch to electric vehicles. Mark will break down who qualifies, what kind of support and incentives are available, and how EV adoption can lower costs and support a cleaner future in our region.

At 10:10 AM, it’s Blog Talk with Sydney, as Sydney Sinks unpacks her latest Riverbender.com piece, sharing the story behind the story and highlighting the people and moments shaping life in the Riverbend.

And at 10:35 AM, the Salvation Army joins us with full details on the Tree of Lights Campaign — how it helps families right here at home, how the fundraising works, and how listeners can give, volunteer, or partner this holiday season.

A Thursday morning loaded with lights, progress, stories, and service — only on Our Daily Show!
