WCBU's On Deck has everything you need to know to start your day for Thursday, August 5, 2021. Our top story is about how Governor JB Pritzker will require indoor masking for all schools this fall. You'll also hear how the Peoria Art Guild and the Arts Alliance of Illinois are teaming up for their campaign "Vax to Get Back." Artists from across Illinois are creating pieces that encourage the public to get the vaccine. Peoria artist Hattie Lee wants to use her creativity to encourage more people to get the shot. She talks with WCBU student reporter Valerie Vasconez about how she wants to be part of the change.
Daniel Musisi is WCBU's Assistant Audio Director. He's also the host of our daily newsmagazine All Things Peoria.
