Our afternoon queen Sarah Stringer is a native Arkansan (or Arkie, as they're called) who moved to the Quad Cities about two years ago in search of more snow. She's our resident bachelorette and sleep-deprived cat mom to Milo & Chanel, who she adopted at the Humane Society of Scott County. Sarah will do literally anything we give her: from winning a ballroom dance competition to rappeling 11 stories to skydiving. When she's not running her mouth, she's probably ice skating, watching true crime docs, or getting stuck rock climbing.
