memorial day

Calling all veterans and active duty members: The Vibrant Arena is hosting a special Military Night game with the Quad City Steamwheelers Pro Football team.

Be one of the first 100 people there to get a shirt that could contain cash.

The start to the unofficial kickoff of summer may be a little brisk.

You can help do so by volunteering to place flags on the graves of fallen soldiers at the Rock Island National Cemetery today.

There's nothing better for cooling down on a hot summer say than a dip in the pool, or the splash pad. It may not be hot enough this weekend, but soon the temps will be sweltering, and these cool-down spots in the Quad Cities will be opening this weekend to provide relief form the upcoming summer heat...

I am a big history buff.  I have a lineage that I can trace back to Germany over 400 years ago. And my family were instrumental players in the Revolutionary War... for the British. Sorry, eh. My home in Rock Island is almost 100 years old, and I am an avid Quad Cities history buff...

Memorial Day is next week, which means many of us will be celebrating by firing up the grill. Hot dogs, brats, burgers, chicken...whatever you prefer, it tastes great on the grill! But who should handle the responsibility of maintaining meat mastery?
