A table will be set up on the landside ticketing level at 10 a.m. where airport staff will distribute some of the lunches.

The show ran from 9 – 10 a.m. on Thursday January 10, 2018 and was also streamed live on Facebook.

This months show sponsored by the Medicine Stop in Beaver Falls started off with Frank welcoming Josh to the program and asking him how things have been going since being elected last November to fill the seat that was vacated by Jim Christiana. Kail replied busy and h is now ready to get to work. The guys shared with the listeners what they most remember about being sworn in earlier this month.
