October was a busy month for WSIU! We participated in the MT. VERNON FALL FEST parade in downtown Mt. Vernon, Ill. on October 1. Our PBS KIDS LITERACY VAN (courtesy of Child Care Resource & Referral at John A. Logan College) and SUPER WHY! were a big hit with paradegoers. WSIU staff and students distributed PBS KIDS bracelets and vinyl WVSI/WSIU stickers featuring the Mt. Vernon Rams mascot.
