Start your Thursday morning with all things local and a little Halloween spirit!
At 9:10, Karen Wilson from State Farm joins us in the studio! As the Parade Marshal of the 108th Annual Alton Halloween Parade, Karen will share her excitement for the big night, what this honor means to her, and what makes this year’s parade such a special community tradition.
Then at 10:05, we’re heading to Mascoutah to chat with the Mascoutah Chamber of Commerce and get all the details on their Fall Festival, Car Show, and Chili Cook-Off — a perfect blend of cars, community, and comfort food this season.
And at 10:35, Isaac Sandidge joins us to discuss his new family-friendly horror story set right in Brighton, Illinois — a spooky and imaginative tale inspired by local lore known as the Brighton Borgoo.
It’s a packed Thursday of local pride, fall fun, and creative storytelling!
