Comedian Willie Farrell joined us in the studio this morning shortly after the 8:30 news to talk about the 8th Annual Italian-American Heritage Festival. It is this weekend, July 28th and 29th, in Western Gateway Park in downtown Des Moines. The hours are 11AM-1AM on Friday and 10AM-1AM on Saturday. If you bring a canned food item before 5PM, you will receive free admission. You'll find world-renown cuisine, cultural activities, games and contests and lots of local entertainment, from Sausage & Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band to Blackjack Billy.
Tomorrow on Van and Bonnie, we'll be giving away a family four-pack of tickets to the National Balloon Classic in Indianola that can be used anytime between July 28th and August 5th.
Have a fantastic day!
