Megan Cunningham and Calvin Wiley of the Green Tree Inn of Elsah discuss fall visits along the River Road, the inn’s event space and efforts to bring more visitors to the historic village. They also describe Elsah’s Home for the Holidays home-tour event, organized by the Historic Elsah Foundation, and community conversations about future festivals and tourism. The interview notes that October and November are especially colorful times to visit the area; eagle season is another draw in winter.
Madison County Board Chairman Chris Slusser and Chain Gang volunteer Rusty Wheat talk about litter cleanup and efforts to keep trash from escaping from trucks traveling to the landfill. Slusser describes traffic enforcement with local law enforcement and county funding for a deputy focused on patrols. Wheat also discusses his proposal to restrict sales of miniature liquor bottles as a litter-reduction measure; it is presented as an idea under discussion, not an adopted policy. They share ways residents and community groups can help with cleanup.
