Heartland Salutes
Join WMBD 31 “On the road” as we salute 15 Central Illinois Communities throughout the summer. We will be doing our 5 & 6 PM News LIVE from these communities throughout the Summer.
We’re celebrating 50 years at WMBD 31… So each week we’ll be giving away $50 Gas Cards, Weather Radios, Six Flags tickets, $50 in gift cards from CEFCU, and a $200 Gift Certificate to Shermans… and at the end of the year a 50 inch HDTV from Shermans.
When possible, WMBD 31 News this morning will be live from the “community center” (coffee shop or other morning gathering location) in the selected community. Chuck Collins will do Weather live from the WeatherLab. Bob Larson and Meg Johnson will do Special Community features and live interviews focusing on the communities. The local sports features with Kurt Pegler and Rob Coons will showcase the communities teams. Wrap up of the days activities with a special feature in FOX news @ Nine on WYZZ.

Elmwood
Elmwood is a city with small town values and big city opportunities. Our pioneer heritage and our enterprising values give us the initiative to reach out to families seeking relocation into a central Illinois community. Elmwood is that community.
Elmwood is a community that respects agricultural tradition as we progress into the future with further development in the region. With it's tree-lined streets is a clean, friendly, prosperous, proud community. Elmwood is located close to larger cities that offer cultural and entertainment variety, yet is far enough away to offer a serene haven to individuals and families.
Elmwood is the birthplace of the sculptor Lorado Taft and is host to some of his works. The most notable is the statue called "The Pioneers," which is situated in the town's central park.
Elmwood also hosts an annual Strawberry Festival the first Saturday in June. Visitors can eat a variety of strawberry desserts, stroll through a craft fair and classic car show, and enjoy local talent and musical groups on the bandstand.
