We’ll talk about upcoming events, how residents can get involved, and what makes this milestone celebration so special for Glen Carbon as it honors its past while looking toward the future.
At 10:10 AM, John joins us from the Shriners to bring us the details on the annual Smoke N' For The Kids BBQ Festival hosted by the Troy/Edwardsville Shrine Club at Tri-Township Park. We’ll discuss the competition, food, family-friendly activities, and how the event helps support the Shriners' mission of providing care for children in need.
At 10:35 AM, we preview the highly anticipated MWC Fight for Faith professional wrestling event returning to Enjoy Church in Alton on June 13. We’ll talk about the matches, the athletes, and the unique partnership between wrestling and community fundraising, as all proceeds from the event benefit the church. From high-flying action to a Falls Count Anywhere match, fans can expect an exciting night while supporting a worthy cause.
