Executive Director of the Jefferson County Chamber of Commerce, Jamie Storey, joined Rockin' Ryan Roddy Tuesday morning for a chat about this weekend’s 11th Annual Home & Outdoor Expo in Mt. Vernon at the Times Square Mall. Get a head start on those home improvement projects by coming to the Times Square Mall in Mt. Vernon on Friday, February 23rd (5-8p) and Saturday, the 24th (9a-5p) for incredible, first-hand access to industry experts. Over 50 vendors will be showcasing all things home and outdoor! Visit southernillinois.com for more info. See you at the Expo!

This year, we are also working with current and former FFA members to collect livestock supplies to send to those affected by the recent hurricanes. If you would like to donate, we will be collecting items the same time as the scholarship BBQ. Hope to see you there!
