Those of you in the Viroqua area listening to WVRQ, got to hear us on the air with Ernie and Trina this morning! It was our first on-air interview, so hopefully we didn't sound too horrifying!

We'll also be on the air, Halloween morning, with Dan Morris from Q94 during his first annual Halloween Spooktacular show. Be sure to tune in if you're in the Prairie Du Chien area!

THANK YOU to WVRQ and Q94 for letting us share our love of Halloween and HauntedWisconsin.com on the air!
