GODFREY - Karen Wilson is ready to be roasted. The State Farm agent is known as a good neighbor throughout the Riverbend region, and she’s taking one for the team next month as the celebrity community member who will be roasted to raise funds for Pride, Incorporated. From 5–8 p.m. on Thursday, Dec. 14, 2023, community members will gather at The Commons at Lewis and Clark Community College in Godfrey for a buffet, roast session and Wilson’s counter-roast. “My daughter’s been waiting her whole life for this,” Wilson laughed. “I’m scared. If you want to know all the dirt on me and make fun of me, come on Dec. 14th.” Even the event’s dress code — “Globetrotter Chic” — is a playful poke at Wilson’s hobbies.
