***** Original Story *****

 

Neewollah will soon be featured on CBS News.

 

Last weekend, a TV crew visited town during the Chili Cook-off and interviewed local historian Ken Brown and some of the past Generalissimos.

 

Wilson says the producers found out about the event from a popular TV show that featured Independence a few years ago.

 

Wilson says she's excited to see Independence featured on the national stage, as this is more about just showcasing an annual event.

 

The segment is expected to air during the CBS Evening News either tomorrow or Friday. Stay tuned for updates as they become available.
