In this episode I’ll be at Discover Austin visiting with Nancy Schnable and her special guest Joe Bower, President of the Austin Area Chamber of Commerce. We talk about the Fourth of July Parade and the upcoming Ag Appreciation Cookout at the Mower County Fairgrounds.

Then I visit with Luke Reese, Director of the Jay C. Hormel Nature Center and his special guest Musician and Educator Will Bjorndal. We talk about Will’s week long residency at the Nature Center and his path to write and perform children’s music.

And at the Austin Area Foundation we catch up with Director Steve Barrett and Catherine Haslag as they reveal the recipients of the 2025 Austin Area Foundation Scholarships.
