Yakima Sunfair Festival Association and Yakima Chamber of Commerce have announced that Yakima County Sheriff Brian Winter has been named as the Grand Marshal of the 57th Sunfair Parade.

2016 was a pretty good year for 94.5 KATS-FM. There were some downturns, but mostly it was quite a good year.

The second annual Chili Cookoff at Owens Cycle last Saturday was awesome! We had a great time with the United States Marine Corps and the YWCA! All the bike clubs in town came out and entered their chili!

Today marks the 241st birthday of our United States Marine Corps. We honor those men and woman who have help to protect this amazing nation!

Always an excellent time with the United States Marine Corps! Toys R Us donated a ton of money to go shopping for the USMC's Toys for Tots program! Each one of us took age groups for boys or girls. I got the 3-5 little girls and 7-9 boys! The boys got a lot of "Star Wars" stuff. Then, we decided that those little girls needed Barbies and fun little jellies to dress up in!

Sunday's (Nov. 6) bike run that kicked off the valley's Toys for Tots 2016 campaign at the Salvation Army was a complete success. We had so many bikes there! People even came in vehicles to make sure that the United States Marine Corps got toys for the kids.

What a fantastic day it was for the United States Marine Corps, Toys R Us and all the kiddos who stopped by to check out the military vehicles and equipment. People came in droves to donate new, unwrapped toys as Toys For Tots kicked off this year's campaign.

Whoa! Christmas is already on the way! Which means our local Marines are already gearing up for the 100th year of Toys for Tots. We need to help by stocking them up with lots of brand-new toys for needy children in our area. Our first chance is at this weekend's annual bike run in Yakima.

Friday, December 11th at 6am the United States Marine Corps will be hanging out at 1st and Mead with their M 1 A 1 tank. Every year the USMC and 94.5 KATS-FM, 92.9 The Bull, 1073 KFFM, News-talk 1280 KIT, 1460 ESPN and Mega 99.3 teams up with Steve Hahn Volkswagen, KIA and Mercedes Benz of Yakima to gather up as much money and toys as we can for 'Toys For Tots' foundation.

Toys for Tots is and non-profit organization headed up by the USMC. It started in 1947 and has been growing strong ever since gathering up toys and money so that all kids have a new toy for Christmas. We did a chili cook off at Owens with USMC Bravo Company 4th Tank Battalion and it was a huge success.
