WGLT staffers Brady Johnson and Eric Stock at the downtown Bloomington farmers market in September when this audio postcard was recorded.

WGLT wanted to do things a little differently this year.

At a farmers market in downtown Bloomington this fall, McLean County residents stepped up to our microphones and set the political agenda themselves.
