WBNX is hosting a special visitor this week, superstar “mystery solver” Scooby Doo!  Recent polls list the jovial Great Dane as one of the most-recognized cartoon characters in the world.  Not bad for a pooch who debuted in 1969, and has starred in a dozen variations of Doo series—ranking 2nd in TV history (behind only The Simpsons) with more than 300 animated episodes.  Yesterday, Scooby and Ali spent the day at Childrens Hospital visiting with the sick youngsters.  Imagine what an unexpected thrill like that means to the kids!  And this Saturday, Scooby and Ali will be riding aboard the WBNX unit in the “Welcome to Santa Holiday Parade” in downtown Akron.  Not only will there be marching bands, celebrities and floats among the long line of participants, but four giant 50-foot helium balloons—like the ones you see in Macy’s Thanksgiving Parade—are scheduled to be floating down Main Street!  The parade steps off Saturday at noon, beginning at the corner of Main and Cedar Streets.  This is a great annual event that the whole family can enjoy together.  Click here for more info, and remember to give a shout-out to Ali, Scooby Doo and, of course, Santa!  See ya there…
