Think Pink Pumpkins and a Skateboarding Dog.... Today in the News 10/7/2014:



Favorite Story / Story of the Day: Pink and Pumpkins
October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and today's show was centered around the word "Pink" From Courtney's Courts Tunes Theme to Ken's Manly Minute of why men should wear pink to Go Girl and Albie Aware who are teaming up with Pink Flamingo's. A Pink Flamingo can be honored with a Breast Cancer Patient for just a $10 donation to honor them and Tina was there checking out where the flock will land. From Good Day: Individuals are invited to sponsor a pink Go Girl flamingo in memory, honor or celebration of a loved one who has been affected by breast cancer. For more information go to http://albieaware.org/ and for more on Ken's Manly Minute see below.

October is also Pumpkin Month and today Alex Wer aka Pumpkin Geek was back. We first met Alex aka The Pumpkin Geek last year on Good Day with his Carrie Pumpkin, Today Alex was back with a new set of Pumpkins.
 


Alex takes plastic Pumpkins and carves them just as a real pumpkin but Alex uses facial likeness of stars. If you would like to contact Alex send him an email at... 
alex@thepumpkingeek.com for more information or you can find him on Twitter as well...https://twitter.com/ThePumpkinGeek
