Start your Wednesday morning with civic insight, local history, and community resources.
At 9:20 AM, Mayor Mike Morrow joins the show to discuss the state of Grafton heading into 2026. We’ll talk about priorities for the year ahead, projects in the pipeline, and the developments residents and visitors can look forward to as the village continues to grow and evolve.
At 10:10 AM, we step back in time with Lacy McDonald for another edition of 100 Years Ago, discussing her latest article on Riverbender.com and exploring Alton’s rich history. Lacy also serves as Director of the Genealogy & Local History Library at Hayner, bringing expert context to the stories she shares.
Then at 10:35 AM, it’s Beyond the Shelves with Mary Cordes from Hayner Public Library District. We’ll take a look at what Hayner has coming up over the next few months, including programs, events, and resources available to the community.
A Wednesday morning focused on leadership, history, and local connection.
