Last night we attended the screening of Route 66: The Main Street of America by John Paget

It was a fantastic film!! Great storytelling, awesome camera work, and a great film depicting how alive Route 66 has become and how it is still thriving!

Of course they had to stop by and get some lunch on their way to the next screening in Litchfield, IL.

It was a pleasure working with John and his crew. Safe travels and Keep it Cozy!!

Hey fans, we need your help. We need to keep selling tickets to the Reisch Charities Raffle that is scheduled in coordination with the Major League Eating event at the International Mother Road Festival. To build up some excitement, we have TWO tickets for the SOLD-OUT Lainey Wilson show at the Illinois State Fair and we’re going to Give Them Away!

Here’s how you can get in on the ACTION!

Share this post for ONE entry to the Lainey Wilson ticket raffle and we will draw for those tickets at our regular monthly drawing for the $100 monthly prize on July 26, 2026. BUT if you want to increase your chances, all you need to do is buy a ticket!

Every Reisch Charities Raffle Ticket sold between July 1 and July 25, 2026, at 5pm Central Time will also be entered into the Lainey Wilson ticket drawing. Buy more than one ticket and get another entry to BOTH drawings.

Share this post = one chance in the Lainey Wilson ticket drawing.
Share and buy a ticket = two chances in the Lainey Wilson ticket drawing.
Each additional ticket purchased equals an additional entry in the Lainey Wilson ticket drawing.

All the details are below 👇🏽👇🏽
