(The Center Square) − Illinois Democrats say their party will win across the United States in 2026, with the Land of Lincoln serving as the blueprint. Gov. J.B. Pritzker spoke at the Illinois Democratic County Chairs' Association brunch Wednesday morning before hosting Governor's Day on the Lawn at the Illinois State Fair in the afternoon. Pritzker said Democrats will win in 2026, and the rest of the country will live out what Illinois is experiencing. “And what I'll say to those who are wondering what's next for the Democratic Party is this: She's alive and well and stronger than ever, living right here in the great state of Illinois,” Pritzker said.

Eppy 142: Our State Fair is a Great State FairDid we shut the garage door?! It's the universal Boomer (and Millennial!) panic moment—halfway down the street, we're convinced the garage is wide open. Cue the dramatic "drive of shame" back home! In this episode, we laugh about the quirks and worries we all share, from garage door paranoia to the things Boomers value that no one else seems to care about anymore—like balancing a checkbook or buying a timeshare.  Then we head to happier places—county fairs! Ohio has 88 counties, which means 88 excuses for funnel cakes, corn dogs, and people-watching galore. Plus, the State Fair is in full swing, and we've got some sweet (and slightly fried) memories to share.  Grab your favorite fair food and tune in for laughs, nostalgia, and the comforting reminder that some things—like funnel cakes—never go out of style.  Follow us and join the fun! We're on Instagram, X, and Facebook: @OKBoomerPod (http://OKBoomerPod.com)   Catch up on episodes and more at http://OKBoomerPod.comAnd for our fellow podcasters and authors, check out http://SpeakUpTalkRadio.com—it's our happy place for creativity!

Hello and welcome to episode 109 of the Still Spinning Podcast. We did a special pop-up live event on Facebook for this one since we missed our “normal” live night on Monday. Make sure you visit your usual podcast subscription service to add us to your list. Visit our website for more details on becoming a sponsor and buying merch. All of this at stillspinningpodcast.com. Nicole went to the State Fair last week and was able to give a recap of some of the foods she tried and liked, some she did not and the disgusting thing her husband ate (she will add a video to the FB page). Think these Fair Foods sound good? What is YOUR favorite food at the fair? Send us an email! The weather was BONKERs in Wisconsin and Dan has some real life experience dealing with it. He talks about it and then gives some solid advice about police barricades and what you should, and should not, do if you encounter one.  And finally, there is a zoo that is asking for “pet food” donations… as in “give us your pets to feed to the big animals here at the zoo.” It may not be as bad as you think, tune in to hear all about it.  Next week we will not have the Monday live event (again) as Dan is traveling to Canada to finally use his passport to get Starbucks! But we will have an episode drop next Wednesday as well as bonus content for the Spinners. 

Simon Conway is joined by Rob Sand, Brad Zaun, and Pat Berry during Wednesday's second hour.
