Friday 8/6 Live Blog

Carny season hits a fever pitch in our area as the Winnebago Co. Fair winds down (with Jon & Mary in the Morning broadcasting LIVE starting at 10am) and the Wisconsin State Fair heats up your weekend. Again this reminder: when approaching a carny, he/she is just as afraid of your smell as you are of theirs.

Author Joshua Lyon talked about our country's growing addiction to painkillers, as detailed in his new book Pill Head. Over 20% of Americans use prescription painkillers non-medically. What are the signs? The solutions? Click here for more details.

Grill masters Mad Dog & Merrill joined us with a look at their new TV show, Mad Dog & Merrill's Midwest Grill'n. After 30 years of manning the coals, the boys bring their expertise to a CW station near you (WIWB in Green Bay or WVTV in Milwaukee) starting August 15.

Kevin Miller had a list of all the BIG August events at the Windhover Center for the Arts. He stuck around to chat new movies opening today, including Will Ferrell and Marky Mark as The Other Guys, Step Up 3D, and Luke Wilson as one of the Middle Men. Pop over to k107.com for those local showtimes.
