ALTON - Town Club Bar and Grill continued their annual tradition of selling hot chocolate during the 107th Alton Halloween Parade . On Oct. 31, 2024, Cole Kribs and his family spent the evening dishing out hot chocolate, water bottles and conversation with parade participants and spectators. Cole’s father, Mark Kribs, owns the bar, and the family has “a front row seat” to all the parade action. “It’s been a tradition for so long, we just kind of never really stopped,” Cole said. “ We’ve been doing it a long time.

EDWARDSVILLE — Congresswoman Nikki Budzinski (IL-13) will host a roundtable discussion with independent pharmacists on Saturday, November 2, 2024, at 1:00 p.m. CDT, to address the challenges posed by Pharmacy Benefit Managers (PBMs). The event will take place at Birger Hall, located at 30 Circle Drive, Edwardsville. PBMs serve as intermediaries between drug manufacturers, insurers, and pharmacies, and have been criticized for inflating drug prices, which impacts both patients and taxpayers. The roundtable aims to highlight how these practices adversely affect community pharmacies by directing patients to PBM-affiliated pharmacies and limiting access to in-network pharmacies for prescription fills. Following the roundtable, Budzinski will tour the Southern Illinois University of Edwardsville (SIUE) School of Pharmacy at 2:30 p.m. CDT. The tour will focus on recruitment and retention issues among student pharmacists and will include SIUE School of Pharmacy Dean Dr. Mark Luer and
