Carrie and Danielle dropped by Wake Up Tri-Counties on Tuesday to promote Quarter Madness this Friday night. Doors open at 5:30 at the Kewanee Elks Lodge and the fun and excitement of Quarter Madness begins at 6:30 PM. You can buy Gold and Platinum Paddles which will get you in on every auction throughout the evening or get a white paddle and use your quarters to place your bid on the stuff you really want at Quarter Madness. Carrie and Danielle gave us a rundown of the awesome lineup of items up for grabs on Friday night in our Wake Up Tri-Counties conversation but you find out more about the items and where to get your paddles, Platinum or Gold, in our interview from Wake Up Tri-Counties. 

Our young friend Remy joined Wake Up Tri-Counties on Wednesday with The Good News about National Oreo Cookie Day. 

It's been a little while, but Jock Hedblade from Visit Unforgettable Forgottonia is back in the studio to talk about the highly-anticipated unveiling as the Downtown Macomb Square turns into the "World's Largest Monopoly Game" on May 9th, 2024.

It'll be a fun day as the brand-new Monopoly-styled game piece statues are revealed and the new Macombopoly app is launched, allowing everyone to play the game and learn about the popular game and it's inventor, Macomb native Lizzie Magie.

Jock also dishes some early details about this year's Heritage Days, including the musical acts that will be performing during the celebration.

For more information about or how to get involved with the Macombopoly project, call the Macomb Area Convention & Visitors Bureau at (309) 833-1315 or check out their website - visitforgottonia.com.

The planning stage is well underway for the important summer program, Let's Feed Our Children.
