And yes, her tinfoil hat is super shiny!  Today Connie begs the question, if there are so many mattress stores in the country, why don't you ever see any customers? Conspiracies, conspiracies! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It's hard to believe that on September 11th, 2026 it will mark the 25th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks. This year, we are honored to be a part of the March to the Memorial event in South Bend. Has it really been 25 years?! Join us for this special year of remembrance as we make our annual journey through the South Bend metro area carrying American flags. Bob Lyons was inspired to begin this event after being a part of one similar out of state. He says that honoring 9/11 and the victims every year is a vital part of who he is. His hope is that more and more people sign up to walk, bring a flag, and inspire others to remember and never forget what this day means to our country.  To sign up for this free walk, please register here: https://marchtothememorial.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On this feature of Round the Bend Now & Then, Matt Emery, our local Michiana historian takes us back to a time when Park Jefferson was anything but an apartment complex. The sprawling property once boasted an appliance king who decided to turn his knack for all appliance to all that is putting!

Local Michiana historian, Matt Emery, gives incredible insight to the places we walk by, drive by, and see every day!  This week he shares all about the gorgeous Beiger Mansion in Mishawaka!  While Beiger is a common name you might hear in Michiana, Martin was known for the Mishawaka Woolen and Rubber Manufacturing Company, which became the Ball Band Rubber Company.  With his mass fortune, he built a stunning mansion, but unfortunately died before it was even completed!  The history will tell that when Susie Beiger died, she made sure the mansion was a place where elderly women had a place to call home, where all of their needs were met with security and dignity. The following years would lead to a sale of the mansion, and even a fire that nearly destroyed this local treasure. We appreciate all that Matt does to preserve and share in the history of this wonderful place we call home!

Dick Pfeil was motivated by a personal passion of the heart 15 years ago to create a Miracle Park in Michiana!  The Miracle League of Northern Indiana grew out of a long-time dream from Dick Pfeil, a local entrepreneur and philanthropist. As the father of two adult children with cerebral palsy, he understood the barriers people with disabilities face. After discovering a Miracle Field in Florida, Dick was immediately inspired. “I knew a Miracle Field must find a place in our community.”   15 years later, his dream is becoming a reality!! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week felt like it was officially summer as we spent great time out at the St. Joe Co. 4-H Fair!  From the incredible show with Hannah Harper, to Kid's Day, and the Youth Talent Show, we were so lucky to be a part of something so special!  Reed was back from vacation and described it as: "STUNNING!"

Garth Brooks announced a massive World-wide tour and we are GEEKED that he's kicking it all off in Indy on Aug. 21st-22nd!  How many corndogs do you think you could consume to be the champion? Brittney was there to witness the corn-doggy goodness where one champion was able to down 11!!  It was a great week with awesome guests including Stacy Vervynckt with the Mishawaka Business Association ahead of Kamm Island Fest, and Amanda Buchholz with CASA of St. Joseph County as she shared the importance of advocating for children right here in Michiana!     See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Matt Emery is in studio to share all about the history of the incredible local gem: Potawatomi Zoo!! While the Zoo is an incredible place for our community today, it was a much different place decades ago.  The zoo accepted animal donations, and in fact reached out to residents to help in their hunt for new raccoons! Unfortunately with free access to the animals in their enclosures, it wasn't always the safest place for the animals when people would give monkeys cigarettes and food!  Matt had the chance to share the history of the zoo with the current Executive Director, Josh Sisk, on the latest episode of his podcast!  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Matt Emery of Round The Bend Now & Then  shares details on what we now see today as Potawatomi Park and Zoo! Back in the day it went from being the local poor farm, the local fairgrounds, a tourist camp, and even an open air Tuberculosis camp!  "Anywhere you look in our city, anywhere you go, there are so many stories that are underneath what we see. And I think it's so cool that the same piece of ground that we walk on now meant different things to different generations."  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

There are so many amazing gems that make Michiana such a great place to live!  We announced that the ACM Female Vocalist of the year, Avery Anna, is coming to the Blue Gate, and we absolutely loved Mike's enthusiasm to be the first person in Michiana to win tickets!   Speaking of tickets, we had a blast sending Sherri, Lisa, Jennifer and more to see Jeff Dunham at the Morris 7/17! Oh, and where were you when you got stuck or stranded? How about a mud bog for 12 hours? :-O There were great moments of laughter, fun, and heart! Let's do it again next week!    See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week was stupendous! We kicked it off with a recap of the incredible South Bend Police Department's Annual Summer Cookout where we wanted to know, "What does summer smell and taste like? If summer had one rule, what would it be?" The answers were incredible, and one even inspired a game to give Riley Green tickets away!  We announced that Dustin Lynch is coming to the Blue Gate, and gave away the very first pair of tickets to Taylor!  There is a new feature with local Michiana historian Matt Emery, called Round The Bend Now and Then and we learned that a crowd funded zoo once stood in the grounds of Rum Village Park!  Dan Masters will portray Maxie Dean in Beetlejuice, and we LOVED his pre-radio stories and energy!

On Friday we were so blessed to welcome Redd Faye from Oklahoma for an incredible in studio performance ahead of her show in Elkhart!  Every day is so much fun, and we love that you are a part of it!    See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
