Shawna is a Senior at Mt. Vernon Township High School who has been getting lots of recognition recently for her writing/poetry work. She's also a standout employee here at Withers Broadcasting Companies so Big Jake brought her on the show to highlight her accomplishments as well as hear some of her work!

Tricia Higgins, Marketing Director with the Girl Scouts of Southern Illinois, stops by to discuss how they've started their annual Girl Scout Cookie Program. Not only is the Cookie Program the largest girl led entrepreneurial program in the world, it is also a catalyst to fueling all of the adventures of the Girl Scout Leadership Experience. Customers aren’t simply purchasing cookies – they are empowering girls. Every purchase stays local and provides girls opportunities like camping, travel, robotics, and so much more. gsofsi.org/findcookies to search out a cookie booth nearest you!
