Full disclosure: I am the PA announcer for the Peoria Rivermen hockey team, and have been for 11 of the last 12 years. I love hockey. I desire to see the Rivs draw better. The front office works incredibly hard to try and draw more fans to Rivermen hockey fans. That being said…read on…

Friday, 9pm, March 7th. Gas in Kewanee and Peoria: $3.29 per gallon. A Shell station in Pekin is at $3.30. See the high (and low, for that matter) prices here.
