You can't haze people in college. But we can sure do it here at WBKR! And that's exactly what Jaclyn and I did to our brand new intern, Jordan Roos, a senior at Brescia University. His first day on the job was last Friday, which just so happened to be the first day of the International Bar-B-Q Festival here in Owensboro. Naturally, we invited Jordan along for a crash course in live, on-location broadcasting. Well, watch what happened when we passed Paula Martin's Paintopia booth.

Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive This Saturday
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!
