Good morning, Peoria.

The Peoria Civic Center ended 2025 with record attendance from over 600,000 visitors as sold out comedy shows, Broadway productions and large conventions boosted the downtown economy; officials say Ghost in February will be one of its biggest productions and will add to family events planned for next year.

Peoria fitness coach Yvonne Greer of Power Zone Inc. is teaching local residents how to start a fitness routine without waiting for New Year’s resolutions & she demonstrates simple exercises like squats and push-ups to build a regular habit.
