Madelyn Tudor was named the Little Miss Washington County Fair Queen in 2022 and she would go on to win Little Miss Illinois 2023. She is retiring this summer and stopped by WMIX to chat with Big Jake and officially make her retirement speech on the air. We have royalty in the building!

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!
