We had Beth Tromley and Joanne Zeller in this morning to talk about Riding Hope, which has equestrain therapy for special needs children ages 2-18.

They're having a Western-themed Hoedown this Saturday night at the St. Wendel Knights of St. John from 5-11 p.m. Admission is $30 per person, or $50 per couple and includes food and drink! This a major fundraiser for Riding Hope so they can expand and help more kids.

If you want to buy tickets, give them a call at 812-985-7759, and make sure to wear your cowboy boots and hat!

Diane’s Team—Day 2 of Fall Festival Booth Reviews

**Booth 67-- (St. Peter’s UMC) (Deep Fried Mashed Potato Balls) OMG!!!!!!! These are absolutely fabulous and a unamimous choice by the entire team; they are spectacular and very original. They are mashed potatoes around chopped bacon, onion and cheese, then deep fried to perfection! Served with ranch or horseradish or enjoy them by themselves!

Don't split household chores in your marriage!!!

A lot of talk yesterday about our Afternoon Game Show Question - "Couples that do this one thing increase chance of divorce by 50%. What?"

The answer was splitting household chores equally. Many people disputed this, so I thought I would post the link to this story.

Fall Festival Food Booth Report

Submitted by Dennis Jon Bailey on Tue, 10/02/2012 - 9:17am

Here's Tuesday's report from the 91st Fall Festival. Not as rainy today so a noticeably larger crowd. A big thanks to my judges Carla Kratz, Casey Hahn, Kathy Collins, Lisa and Don Swenson. Lisa is Kathy's sister and grew up on the Westside but Don is from Siren, Wisconsin where they both now live. Lisa was thrilled to be back for a Fall Festival, this was Don's first. He's was a trooper too, never a complaint and was extremely impressed with the enormous selection. You gotta love a guy who embraces the Fall Festival immediately, right?

2012 Fall Festival--Diane's Team (Day 1 Booth Reviews)

Submitted by Diane Douglas on Tue, 10/02/2012 - 8:03am

Diane's team hit Franklin Street yesterday to begin the task of tasting every booth and make our recommendations. Here are the reults from Day 1:

Booth 46—Evansville Lutheran School (Smoked Turkey Leg) Big and juicy, it’s a Franklin Street staple, but it was left off the munchies map this year.

Booth 47—Evansville Racing Pigeon Club (Chili-Cheese Hot Tamale) This is a new item this year, and it was delicious.
