The Faribault Area Chamber of Commerce Y-Pro (young professionals) group is having a coat drive this fall and we will get details from three members of the group on AM Minnesota 9:30 this morning.

Amy Kramer, Casie Steeves and Beckie Lippert will be our guests. They are calling their event "warm our community."

If you can't tune in 9:30 a.m. please go to www.youtube.com/user/KDHLRadio and watch a video of the show. It should be uploaded by mid-afternoon.

Below is information from the Faribault Area Chamber of Commerce website about their young professionals group.
