Fighterfighter Chris Brown Foundation Benefit Concert

Something a little different from us.  We were pleased and privileged to be able to cover the Benefit Concert held by the Chris Brown Foundation.  Chris was a Hudson and Bloomington Firefighter that was killed in the line of duty on response to a traffic accident on I39 in 2013.  The foundation was formed to help families of fallen firefighters.

The concert was held at the CornCrib Stadium the evening of September 20th.  Despite the rainy weather, the concert was able to go on.  Marc Boon and the Unknown Legends took the stage to mostly cloudy skies and played through some light rain.  Brushville later took the stage but were forced off after a few songs by a drencher.  They picked it all back up under the awing with acoustical instruments.  Maybe a bit of a change in plans, but no one seemed too disappointed.

The art in this gallery was produced by performing different electronic adjustments to single photos.  That too is something different for us.  We've done a little before, but not something you will see on a regular basis.

Be sure to look in the Normalite Newspaper and Best Look Magazine for more coverage.

Redbird Classic - a real winner!

Illinois State University Redbird Women's Volleyball hosted a 4 team volleyball this past weekend.  Participating visiting teams were #7 ranked Marquette Golden Eagles, #7 ranked University or Illinois Fighting Illini and the Knights from the University of Central Florida.  Events kicked off on Friday evening with the Knights and Golden Eagles followed by ISU v the Illini.  Both those matches went 4 sets with Golden Eagles defeating the Knights and ISU upsetting the Illini! On Saturday UCF took on the Illini in a morning match.  The Illini fell once again moving their record in the tournament to 0-2 and setting UCF's record to 1-1.  The evening matchups included a 5:30 match between UCF and Illinois State and the nightcap was Marquette and the Illini.  Both matches went 5 sets, both thrillers with ISU taking the win over UCF and the Illini besting Marquette. Sunday afternoon, the final match between Marquette and Illinois State was nothing short of epic...

Football season gets started with ISU Redbird Red-White Scrimmage

The local football season kicked off today with the Illinois State Redbird Red-White scrimmage.  A healthy combination of fans and students attended the event and the preliminary activities which included the annual student promo photo on the field in Hancock Stadium with the Big Red Marching Machine, cheerleaders, flag corp, and Redline Dancers forming ISU all wearing red shirts. High School football will follow in 13 days with the first Friday Lights games. Get out this fall, support your local teams and see some of the great talent that passes through our communities!

12-13-2024 Normal Community West High School Wildcats Basketball defeated by Richwood Knights

  From my chair, the West v Richwoods varsity boys basketball game looked closer than it ended up. West fell short on a 50-36 game. West has what seems to be an unusually young bunch of ballers with just 3 seniors on the team. Two or three of the starters for this game were sophomores and very hard working young men!
