Start your Wednesday morning with local tradition, Riverbend history, and statewide political conversation!
At 9:20 AM, we’re diving into one of the biggest holiday traditions in the Riverbend — the A.B.O.B. Craft Fair at Alton High School! This massive annual event features hundreds of vendors, handmade goods, holiday gifts, food, music, and the incredible community spirit that has made it a must-attend weekend for families across the region. We’ll walk through what shoppers can expect this year, highlights from longtime vendors, and why the craft fair remains one of A.B.O.B.’s strongest fundraisers supporting Alton’s music programs.
At 10:10 AM, Lacy McDonald joins us for another captivating edition of 100 Years Ago, where we step back in time to explore the stories, headlines, and local moments that shaped the Riverbend a century ago. It’s always a listener favorite — rich storytelling that connects yesterday to today.
And at 10:35 AM, we welcome Dr. Pamela Denise Long, Republican candidate for U.S. Senate in Illinois. Dr. Long will share her background, her platform, and the ideas she brings to the race as she looks to flip Illinois’ Senate seat red. We’ll discuss her priorities, the issues she believes matter most to voters, and what motivates her run at the federal level.
