Charlie Evers Appreciation Dinner
On Wednesday, June 13, from 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m., WDCM and friends are holding an appreciation dinner for Marion legend Charlie Evers at Carousel Concepts on Marion-Waldo Road, just south of Marion.

All of the proceeds will go to help Charlie with medical and personal expenses he has incurred since having major heart surgery a few weeks ago.

Tickets for the dinner at $10 and include a spaghetti dinner. You can purchase tickets at the WDCM studios, 121 East Church Street, or at Streetwise Motors, Marion Community Credit Union, Ron Gist RV, The Ohio State Bank, OK Cafe, Marion Convention and Visitors' Bureau, Campbell Supply, and the Marion Senior Center.

Monetary donations may also be made at the Ohio State Bank.

In addition to the dinner, a silent auction will be held.

For more information, or to donate an item for the auction, call 383-4550.

Purple People Eater
How is it possible that someone in this country has never heard the song Purple People Eater? More astonishing than that is there are two people in the same office.

Jennetta Martin from Streetwise Motors stopped by to talk about the Charlie dinner (she's the major push behind the event). She said two guys at the car lot had never heard the song.

So we played it for them...twice.

Weather Kid
Coleman returned as the Weather Kid Thursday after stiffing us Wednesday. He admitted that he, and his parents, forgot. We let him slide (come on, his grandfather is a sponsor) and he did a great job as always.
