939 the Eagle’s “Wake Up Mid-Missouri” is on-location Thursday at Governor’s prayer breakfast
About 650 people are expected to attend Thursday morning’s Missouri Governor’s Prayer Breakfast in Jefferson City.
The breakfast begins at 7 at Capitol Plaza Hotel and will feature lawmakers from both parties. The prayer breakfast is an annual interfaith event for Missourians. Organizers say its purpose is to seek God’s guidance for state leaders at the start of the legislative session.
Governor Mike Parson will address the audience this morning, and legislators in both parties will read from scripture. Pastor Scott Watson of River Bluff Fellowship in Ozark will also speak.
The first NFL mascot inducted into the Mascot Hall of Fame will deliver the keynote address at the breakfast. Dan Meers has been “KC Wolf” for more than 30 years. KC Wolf is the Kansas City Chiefs’ mascot. Meers is also a motivational speaker.
The Sedalia Smith-Cotton high school U-S Army ROTC will present the colors, and Blair Oaks student Mia Smith will lead the national anthem for the audience. “Wake Up Mid-Missouri” host Branden Rathert will serve as is the master of ceremonies.
939 the Eagle’s “Wake Up Mid-Missouri” will be live on-location from Capitol Plaza from 6-9 am: Brian Hauswirth, Stephanie Bell and John Marsh will have numerous interviews throughout the show about the breakfast and the start of the 2023 session.
939 the Eagle to provide live election night coverage on Tuesday
Boone County’s clerk is projecting a 55 percent voter turnout on Tuesday.
Polls statewide will open Tuesday morning at 6 and will close at 7 pm. Boone County clerk Brianna Lennon is reminding you to bring your photo ID with you to the polls. That can include a Missouri driver’s or nondriver’s license, a U.S. passport or a military ID. It’s part of Missouri’s new voter ID law, which took effect in late August.
If you lack a voter ID, you can still cast what’s called a provisional ballot. Ms. Lennon says your provisional ballot will be counted if you return to your polling place Tuesday with your identification or if your signature matches the signature on your voter registration record.
Keep your radio tuned to 939 the Eagle for election day information in our hourly newscasts and during our live shows. We’ll also have live election night coverage Tuesday evening from 8-10, after the polls close. Join 939 the Eagle’s Branden Rathert, Brian Hauswirth, Gary Nolan and Randy Tobler for live results, analysis and interviews.
