Weekend Fun & Fund Raiser

First some self promotion for the Three Rivers Festival which is just a couple weeks away.

Saturday morning from 10am to 12noon, I'll be at Hire's Auto Parts on South Anthony with one of my radio stations, WILD 96.3's Big Kess, giving away Free TRF Buttons which give you discounts to many of the TRF events. We will have 100 buttons and other prizes to hand out.

Next, I'll be at the Meijer on Illinois Road (State Road 14) between 1 and 3pm with ROCK 104's Doc West, handing out another 100 TRF Buttons. All we ask is you buy something at Meijer, show us your reciept and you get a button and some other cool stuff.

Also Saturday afternoon, Dog & Suds will be hosting a preliminary round to get contestents for the 3RF HotDog eating contest. That starts at 3pm Saturday on Lima Road.
