Morning Show Notes - Friday, March 25th


-The featured movie review this morning from Bob Waliszewski of Focus on the Family was Jane Eyre. However, the movie isn't playing in our area, and we don't know if it will, but it might be a good pick when it is on DVD. Other good choices for the family are The Grace Card (in it's fifth week in Augusta) and Mars Needs Moms.

-There's a lot of stuff to do this weekend in the CSRA including the Yellow Jessamine Festival in North Augusta (Friday and Saturday) and the Aiken Steeplechase (Saturday).

-The Augusta Riverhawks last home game of regular season play is tonight at 7:30 at the James Brown Arena. They are within two points of being tied for first place in the league!

-Starbucks is giving Keurig some competition. Read more

-Coming up Monday: You could win WOW #1's 2011, a two-disc set of 30 Christian Hits, with the Monday Morning Mindbender at 6:10 and the Cheapie of the Week at 7:40.

Then, listen for the song during the day for your chance to win a CD from that artist and a spot in the drawing for tickets on the Dove Bus.
