Sara Billiet from the Kewanee Public Library was our guest today on Wake Up Tri-Counties. Sara joined us to talk about Billy Sunday, the revival preacher whose stops in Kewanee in the early 1900s brought in some of the largest crowds ever gathered in the City's history. Billy Sunday will be the subject of a presentation by Historian Craig Bishop at 2 Pm on August 26th in the Community Room at the Library. Sara also wanted to remind everyone of the Hog Days Book Sale which is hosted by the Friends of the Kewanee Public Library. The Book Sale will run from 7 Am to 11 Am on Saturday, September 3rd, Hog Days Weekend, in the parking lot of Johnson Appliance located at 114 North Chestnut Street.
