Show Notes for Saturday, December 05 & Sunday, December 06, 2020


This weekend we visit with Danica McKellar (The Wonder Years, The West Wing, DWTS & more) about her latest HALLMARK CHRISTMAS MOVIE “Christmas She Wrote” which premiers this Sunday, December 6, 8 pm ET/PT on Hallmark Channel.

When Kayleigh’s (Danica McKellar) New York advice column, “Your Best Self,” is the casualty of belt-tightening by the paper right before Christmas, she heads home for the holidays to reconnect with her family and consider what’s next. Kayleigh’s quiet Christmas at home gets turned on end when Tripp (Dylan Neal), the new editor in chief responsible for the decision, suddenly shows up to woo her back and make her loyal readers happy.

Steuben County Sheriff’s deputies arranged a deal with a Quincy, Michigan man to trade a car for a pound and a half of marijuana. The deal went down Monday morning at a truck stop west of Angola. 39-year-old Andrew Wade Galinis was arrested and initially charged with Level 6 felony dealing in marijuana. Formal charges will be filed by the Steuben County Prosecutor’s Office. The sheriff’s department learned Sunday about a query on a vehicle listed for sale online in Steuben County. The promised payment was a pound and a half of marijuana.
