This week on Hey Elgin!, Boston Nick, Ben, and Tony dive into the vibrant world of trading cards and collectibles with Sherri and Dianna Castillo from Castillo's Collectibles, a true hidden gem in downtown Elgin. Join us for an amazing conversation as we explore their unique shop, which specializes in buying, selling, and trading everything from sports cards to Magic: The Gathering and Pokémon. We talk about the thriving community built around their in-store game tables, the passion behind collecting, and even venture into some fascinating conspiracy theories. If you're a collector, a gamer, or just curious about Elgin's diverse local businesses, you won't want to miss this episode!

Get ready for an episode that's truly out of this world as Boston Nick, Ben, and Tony sit down for an exclusive, hilarious interview with none other than the legendary Bigfoot! In this special mini-episode, 'Mr. 'Squatch' answers the burning questions only three guys from Texas would ask – from his diet of "flexitarian" possum to his views on classic rock (Led Zeppelin, naturally!). Prepare for laughs as he shares his thoughts on cell service, big shoes, why he doesn't need deodorant, and even drops a bombshell about his extraterrestrial friends and his 'probing' experiences. It's an unforgettably funny and wildly unexpected conversation you won't want to miss!

In this illuminating episode, we sit down with Mr. Forest Dennis, a true Elgin fixture whose passion for our community shines bright.

Forest provides an unfiltered look at his experiences in local government and champions a critical issue on the horizon: the upcoming vote to secure much-needed emergency services for Elgin. It's a candid conversation that covers community spirit, public service, and the future of our town's essential care.

We're going to talk about her vision for Elgin, her unique perspective, and what it's like to be on the front lines of making decisions for our community. Let's welcome Tiffany!
