TODAY ON THE KMAQ "JUST TALK" SHOW, JACKSON COUNTY FAIR MANAGER
LANNY SIMPSON INFORMED OUR LISTENERS THAT THE JACKSON COUNTY
FAIRBOARD HAS SELECTED LEIGHTON AS THE PARADE MARSHALL FOR
THE 2017 JACKSON COUNTY FAIR IN MAQUOKETA. LEIGHTON STARTED
AT KMAQ AS NEWS DIRECTOR IN 1976 AND SEVERAL YEARS LATER WAS
PROMOTED TO STATION MANAGER. HE HAS COVERED AND PROMOTED
THE ANNUAL COUNTY FAIR FOR OVER 40 YEARS. A GOOD CHOICE
LANNY AND FAIRBOARD MEMBERS! HE STILL HOLDS THE POSITION HERE
AT KMAQ, BUT IS 63 AND HAS RETIRED, TAKING SOCIAL SECURITY AND NOW WORKS PART TIME. LEIGHTON AND I HAVE ALWAYS BROADCAST THE PARADE TOGETHER ON OPENING WEDNESDAY NIGHT, ON KMAQ. THIS YEAR I'LL DO IT ALONE AND MISS HIS PARADE DESCRIPTIONS , AS HE AND CINDY WILL BE IN THE PARADE AT THE START OF IT. SON DR. JUSTIN AND WIFE, AND SON COLLEGE BASKETBALL COACH ADAM, WIFE AND THEIR DAUGHTER AND SON (LEIGHTON AND CINDY'S GRANDKIDS) WILL BE ON THE SIDEWALK WATCHING.
