Compliments Are Complementary At WGNE Fair Booth

Eden Kendall of WGNE /99.9 Gator Country's morning show set up an Affirmation Station booth at thr Jacksonville (FL)  Fair this week. Visitors can walk-up and get a free compliment.

A Jacksonville.com posting says Kendall plans to set up the booth Friday, starting around 6:30 p.m. The booth will be next to the stage, where former "American Idol" Lauren Alaina plays at 8 p.m.

She said the booth resembles the one Lucy used when she dispensed psychiatric advice in the "Peanuts" cartoon.

The idea came after a morning show discussion. "I mentioned that I had always wanted to create a drive thru kiosk called The Affirmation Station, and dole out free compliments. Hours later, Players By the Sea theatre company had this thing built!"
