October 16, 2014 The United States Marine Corps has been doing Toys For Tots since 1947, when a USMC Reserve man and woman started making homemade toys for the kids whose families couldn't afford to buy toys. Bill and Juliana Hendricks started something spectacular.
October 10, 2014 Halloween is almost here. It is just weeks away and next to Veterans Day, Halloween is my favorite holiday! I love going to haunted houses and haunted buildings during this time. Terror on the Ave is my favorite. What are the things that scare you the most during the Halloween season?
While I'm not a fan of a "haunted" attraction, getting to work behind the scenes tells me that this is going to be a real treat for those who do!

We're throwing a pre-scare party at Terror on the Ave next week and we want you there. Listen all week for your chance to win and party with us on Thursday, Roctober 30th!
October 7, 2014 Our next 10 Deeds in 10 Days' event isToday (Rocktober 7) at Moulin Brew. We will be hanging out there from 12:00 to 6:00 p.m., and we're washing whatever you've got for a ride -- as long as you make a donation.
Last day -- so what's our first stop at the Central Washington State Fair?
The dancing horses! They start at 1:30 p.m. at the Coca-Cola Grandstand, presented by Les Schwab. We saw dancing horses at this year's Sunfair Parade in Yakima -- talk about crowd-pleasers!

September 26, 2014 I hate myself for loving Joan Jett. OK, not really. Actually, I love rock 'n' roll and I love Joan Jett. I am super-stoked that she is returning to the Central Washington State Fair to perform tonight at 7:30.
Rain? Who cares? Won't slow us down today.
Besides, if it gets too bad, we can always go indoors. We might start there, anyway -- hot cup of coffee (with a lid!) and a stroll through the fabric and fashion displays in the Modern Living Building sound pretty good this afternoon
Let's class it up a little today, what do you say?
First stop -- after grabbing a quick cup of Americano to go -- is some fine arts displays, upstairs and in the annex of the Ag Building. Local painters, carvers
Yeah, yeah. We probably should be at work or school or in court or whatever -- but NOT TODAY!
We're hitting the Central Washington State Fair again because, among other things, it's Franz Bread Day
