Tonight is going to be an awesome night in Whitesville.  We are going to be Raisin' 4 Rollie!  Our buddy Rollie Pike is battling a rare disorder that attacks his vital organs and he is in desperate need of a kidney transplant . . . a transplant that WILL happen in June, thanks to the fact that a first cousin of his has just been confirmed a donor match!  This is tremendous news for all of Rollie's family and friends and we are getting together to celebrate and raise money for this guy who would truly do anything for anyone.

This is going to be a big weekend for food in Owensboro-Daviess County.  Friday and Saturday mark the International BBQ Festival downtown and thousands upon thousands of people (including this one) are going to be stuffing their faces with mutton, pork, chicken, funnel cakes and more.  But, Saturday morning, we are asking you to help those who just aren't as fortunate.  Hunger is a serious problem worldwide, but also right here in the tristate.  That's why Campbell Soup Company and the National Association of Letter Carriers are again teaming up for the Stamp Out Hunger Campaign.  This is the 21st year for the movement and you can help simply by placing a bag of food by your mailbox before your mail carrier arrives Saturday.  Here are the official details on how you can help.  It's quick and painless, but VERY rewarding!

If you've ever tuned in for the final stretch of our annual St. Jude Radiothon you have more than likely heard our good friend Rollie Pike.  Rollie, who way back in the day won our 5th season of Goldie's Survivor, has become a true friend to WBKR-FM.  Personally speaking, Rollie is a great friend of mine and truly one of my favorite people on this planet.  And that is no exaggeration.  I simply cannot put into words what I think of Rollie and how much he means to me on a personal level.  This guy is incredible.  But I can say this . . . easily.  Rollie is one the most kindhearted and giving people you will ever encounter.  He never hesitates to lend a helping hand and is one those rare guys who will be there you when call, every time you call.  Unfortunately, as fate would have it, Rollie's now in need of help himself.

Up, Down and Dirty For a Cure is in the books!  And Owensboro's first-ever Mud Run was a HUGE hit.  Hundreds tackled the boot camp-inspired course last weekend at Diamond Lake Campground and Resort and a handful blazed through it.  While I ran the course, kissed the ground at the finish line, then immediately ran to the Atmos Energy grill to get a hamburger, others took the course VERY seriously.  And they just KILLED it!  Check out the full list of winners and our complete Mud Run Photo Gallery!

With the Owensboro Mud Run set to happen on Saturday at Diamond Lake, Chad decided we should run the course. I shared several videos with you from Part 1. If you haven't watched those yet, do it now, ha!

Here are a few remaining obstacles we attempted, and even threw in Chad racing Brian Smith in the mini-truck! I may or may not hit myself in the race with a rope....ok, I do, wasn't exactly how I thought that obstacle would end, ha! Want to see Chad roll down Heartbreak Hill or climb a huge rope in waders?
