The Downtown Maryville organization is asking for financial assistance to add holiday lights and displays.

President Kim Mildward says contributions to the "Be a Light in the 'Ville" campaign will build on an effort that began several years ago.

Mildward also says entries are still being accepted to participate in downtown Maryville's lighted Christmas parade that will take place the evening of Friday, December 4th.

Bill Oliver
Bill Oliver has returned to his alma mater as News Director for KXCV/KRNW after leading award winning news operations as part of a career that has also included sports, operations, management, and sales at public and commercial radio stations in Texas, Kansas, and Nebraska.

A 1981 Northwest Missouri State University graduate, Oliver was deeply involved with KXCV and KDLX as a student, hosting music and news programs, calling sports broadcasts, and helping keep the station on the air after the 1979 Administration Building fire.

Oliver says his return is motivated by a desire to be closer to family and to give back to the university and the mentors who helped shape his broadcasting career.
