Check it out! I was on the WFIW Morning Mingle with Mark Wells this morning. My first time on the radio, live for 30 minutes.

Mark's in-studio guest on Morning Mingle was Jenny Hortin from Albion talking about her publication of 'The Prairie Press' in Edwards County. A weekly newspaper packed with community news.

It’s good to be back from vacation!
Even after getting in late yesterday, we rolled up our sleeves last night and this morning to create this week’s Prairie Press and it’s now delivered to all our supporting local businesses. 📰

We do it because of our dedicated readers and community who make this paper possible. Just a little reminder, supporting local small businesses keeps our towns thriving, and taking time to enjoy life’s “small” moments often turns out to be what matters most. 🌾

Pick up your copy today! We’re glad to be back with you!
