It's the last day for the Madison County Fair! The last day for great rides, food, and entertainment! Speaking of entertainment, the Demolition Derby starts tonight at 7pm! Come on out and enjoy it before it's all gone for another year! And when you do, save yourself the hassle with traffic by parking at the Madison Medical Center parking lot at 214 Elm St. For just $5 you get a clean spot in a paved lot conveniently located just across the street from the main entrance, with easy in/out access. AND it's monitored until the last car leaves, for your safety and piece of mind! Remember, of course all proceeds go to help keep our non-profit, local radio station running and bringing you great programming. We hope to see you today!

$5 doesn't buy much these days. But, sometimes you can still find a great deal! I'm the Station Manager for the local radio station, "Ready FM". Every year during the Madison County Fair, we operate a very important fundraiser for the radio station. Why a fundraiser for a radio station, you ask? Well, we are volunteer ran, non-profit, non-commercial radio station. But, we still have many expenses, like many licensing fees, equipment repairs/replacement, rent, and various other fees when it comes to running a small, yet legit and professional station. So to help raise some of those funds, we maintain the parking lot of the Madison Medical Center (214 Elm St.) across from the Elm St. entrance to the fairgrounds to utilize during non-business hours for fair parking. For just $5, you get a parking space in a clean, paved lot with convenient access to the entrance booth and easy in/out access to Elm St. Although we shut down our operation just after 9pm, for your safety and piece of mind, we stay and monitor the lot until the lot is cleared every night and make sure that it is trash free before the opening of business the next morning. Some have told us that it's the best $5 they've spent! Also, your $5 helps the only radio station in Madison County continue to operate and deliver great programming. Not only do we play the best in country music from the 90s and before, we bring you London High School football, high school basketball from all Madison County high schools, local church services on Sunday mornings and Country Gospel music/programs all Sunday, various community events and shows that discuss important community topics, and more! All for a mere $5. We hope that you'll enjoy a great deal, and help us in the process when you visit the Madison County Fair. And in the meantime, check us out at 105.1 on your FM dial or listen online at readyfm.com!

The rides are up and running and the rodeo is in town. Sounds like a great night to go to the Madison County Fair! And when you head out, please do yourself and us a favor by parking at the Madison Medical Center parking lot at 214 Elm St. after 5pm! It offers convenient and quick in/out access in a paved and monitored lot right across from the main entrance! It's only $5 and ALL of the proceeds go to help keep Madison County's only radio station on the air! It's free for the listeners to listen, but rather expensive on our end to broadcast, so we truly appreciate the support. We hope to see you stop by after 5pm!

As Monday morning of Fair Week begins, it is important to issue a reminder. We appreciate that many want to support Ready FM by parking at the Madison Medical Center Lot (214 Elm St.) for easy access to the fair. But please remember that there is no FAIR parking until after 5pm on Mon - Fri. The parking lot is for Medical Center business only until 5pm. So, simply put: Before 5 pm = NO Fair Parking
After 5pm = PLEASE Fair Parking
We Thank You for your understanding and support, and we hope to see you when you head out to the Madison County Fair...after 5pm!

It's Fair Time Again! Remember that when you visit the Madison County Fair, save yourself the hassle with easy in/out parking on a paved, and monitored lot directly across from the main entrance, and help out your local non-profit radio station at the same time! We're doing all of that at the Madison Medical Center, located at 214 Elm St. Just $5 gets you all of the above, and goes a long way to help us keep broadcasting all of the great programming on Ready FM! It's free to tune in and listen on the radio or online, but its definitely not free on our side. We hope to see you there, and Thank You for your support of your Hometown Classic Country Station!
