The Windsor Heights, Iowa Book Fair with Tyler Granger
Thursday Sep 15, 2022
Thursday Sep 15, 2022
Sometimes, even though we have an international audience, we get to do some hyper-local things and that's what you're getting today. Why? Because we think this is such a neat idea we hope that someone in another town, state or nation might pick up on the idea and do a local book fair where you live. Here you'll meet Tyler Granger from Windsor Heights, Iowa who has put together a book fair featuring Iowa writers ranging from history to news to romance to mystery to children's books. He has done a masterful job in promoting the event as well. The event is on October 3rd starting at noon and HERE is a link to that Facebook Page.
Thanks for listening!

The weekend is upon us. Today the newscast comes from a very cold Mason City, Iowa where the wind is howling and it's three degrees. Today, along with the business news headlines you'll hear from Jeff Pitts in his last broadcast for us. He's been a rock for nearly six years and we appreciated his loyalty. But he's moving on from his gig with Cityview. You might say this is another example of the Great Resignation and we wish him well. In the news:
A mixed bag on Wall Street but...Oil?
The Jobs Report was amazing, no...really;
One company expects consumers to back off spending;
Some big news out of Lowes today;
Are the days of Mega-Malls over;
Could a union be coming to a Google player;
Speaking of unions a do-over vote in Alabama;
The Wall Street Report;
And, are PIP's bad? No not Gladys Knight.
And here's Jeff with Stuff to DO in the Greater Des Moines Metro this weekend into next week.
Thanks for listening!
