The Mt. Vernon Township High School Future Business Leaders of America (FBLA) stopped by Big Jake's show this morning to chat about their 16th Annual Blackout Game Fundraiser. The event takes place at MVTHS during the Rams game on 2/11 vs. Marion. This fundraiser helps offset the costs for FBLA to attend the State Conference in March. There are business sponsorships available for space on the shirts and there will be shirts available for sale to the general public. More information, sponsorship options, or to order a shirt, contact FBLA's Adviser Julie Hayes at jhayes@mvths.org or by calling 618-246-1828.

 

We had some connections issues as the boys of Parmalee are on the road out east but thankfully we muddled through it and got some great stuff. Parmalee is the most played group/band on Country Radio in 2023. Five #1 singles, multi-platinum selling records, and over 1 billion streams online… and coming to Nashville – Illinois- on July 9th to the Washington county fair. Get your tickets at thewashingtoncountyfair.com and we'll see you in NashVegas this summer! Thanks again to Barry Knox, Josh McSwain, Matt Thomas, and Scott Thomas for the time this morning!
