It's the Memorial Day Weekend. For many that means just another day off. For some of us it means we're remembering those who gave everything so we could watch American Idol. Pretty lame huh? On the show, Highway 6 - Your Road to the Country we'll talk a little about that. How..."what we are and what we do"...does it square with those who gave all? Or, could we do better? We'll talk about it.
This is rural lifestyle radio and we're heard each Sunday morning at 8 Central on 98.3 WOW-FM...if you live in Central Iowa. If not you can head to 983wowfm and listen live using your computer. Here, again, is that link!
On the show this Sunday we've got TWO great guests. We'll be talking to former "Chi- Town" resident Marie Tedei who now is very active in Community Supported Agriculture and organics. Marie (her last name is pronounced "to-day") gave up the city life for a life filled with critters and veggies. Today she lives in Balch Springs, Texas and is passionate about organics and better living. She is working hard to save her roosters from a city council that says they've 'gotta go'. (We are NOT making this up. Who would have thought that having chickens and roosters would be a bad thing?) Her story sets up the classic "David vs. Goliath" event about how an environmental sensitive person ends up battling "city hall".
Marie isn't just about roosters and horses....she has a strong motivation in growing organic foods, CSA's and teaching others about the benefits of buying fresh and local. "Knowing where your food comes from and that it's really safe to eat should be a major concern of all consumers." Join us this Sunday morning at 8 Central Time as we visit with Marie Tedei of Eden's Organic Farm...this will be both fun...and informative.
Our first guest of the morning is returning guest. Lyle Steinman raises and trains some of the best sporting dogs on the planet. His facility, Castile Creek Kennels, is a beautiful 40 acre home-place and set of outbuildings near St. Joseph, MO. When we write, "Best dogs on the planet..." That's not just a wishful boast... You see, Lyle Steinman just won the Super Retreiver Series(SRS) Crown Championship. Actually, Lyle and his dogs took first place...and second place....and...ahhh...third place in a medal sweep that has the national event participants shaking their heads in disbelief. (Um...Lyle also took fifth place...not rubbing it in or anything..) We'll talk briefly with Lyle about the past year and what it takes to be a champion at this level and his commitment to the sport. And, it doesn't hurt that Lyle is a national spokesperson for our client, Country Vet Pet Foods. (See how we worked that in...crafty huh?) Lyle Steinman...going to the dogs...Sunday on Highway 6 - Your Road to the Country.
Two guests from two different states and both have that love for the Rural Lifestyle. Too cool!
