“I’ve heard for months there is a coin shortage in America,” George B. said, “There is no coin shortage … people have got trays of coins, they have got bottles of coins, jars of coins – they don’t how many coins they’ve got (and) we’re going to prove on Friday, Nov. 13, there is no coin shortage in America, and every cent collected in downtown Jackson at the corner of (North) Shannon and (West) Lafayette, will go to the Rusty Mac Adopt a Teen Christmas Fund.”
The northwest corner of North Shannon and West Lafayette just happens to be the home of Grace Media Group’s NEWS/TALK 101.5 FM.
The event will be simulcast on NEWS/TALK 101.5 FM & 93.1 FM.
