Ever tried a sport and immediately thought, 'I need more of this in my life'? That's exactly what happened when I picked up a pickleball paddle for the first time during a memorable family weekend in Iowa. Join me, Mike Ennis, as I share not only my newfound love for this lively game but also the heartwarming stories that make Martin County truly special. You'll hear about a community rallying to support a local teacher's family facing tough times and the charmingly odd request that led Aunt Ivy to adjust her crossword puzzles. Plus, we'll celebrate new beginnings with the birth of Martin Michael Clancy and mark milestones with birthdays at Goldfinch.
On the political front, there's never a dull moment as we uncover some of the quirkiest and most unique races in our local landscape. With no candidates officially on the ballot in Truman and a face-off between current and past mayors in Trimont, the mayoral races are nothing short of fascinating. We'll also bring you recipes quirky enough to match, like "Bewitchingly Bold Deviled Monster Eggs," and take a humorous look at small-town life with "Redneck Love." Join us for a journey through the spirited world of Martin County politics, where your personal values mean more than party lines, and hear updates on council candidates in towns like Donnell and Ormsby. This episode promises an engaging look at the lively happenings in our community.
