Benton County has a colorful history -- full of pioneerism, early commerce, tragedy and humor. Join WJON's Jim Maurice as he explores the county's past with Benton County Historical Society Executive Director Mary Ostby through a series of online interviews and articles.

The Monster Summer Meltdown is coming to the Benton County Fairgrounds tonight and Saturday night.  I went to this last year and had a blast.  Nothing better then spending an evening watching monster trucks destroy everything in their path.  Last year's winner Heart Breaker is back to defend her title.
