Janelle Fisher
Gearing Up for the Draft
The hour kicks off with our weekly segment "Headlines With The Press Times". Tori Wittenbrock and Janelle Fisher with the Green Bay Press Times join to talk about some of the great events that are planned for the NFL Draft. From music concerts to fireworks, from events based on the city's history to family-friendly get-togethers, there's no lack of things to do over the next few days. Mary Rhode from On Broadway, Inc. joins to promote some of the events in the downtown area, and a great website for an event schedule. Then Teri Barr joins us with another "Slice of Wisconsin". This week, Teri shares the story of an Appleton band that created the "official" NFL Draft song! The band is Doozey, and the song is titled "Last One Standing". They'll be performing the song at the draft! We're excited for them!

Evergreen Theater & Area 509
John Craemer & Janelle Fisher from the Green Bay Press Times are in with their weekly feature: Headlines with the Press Times! John is a multi-media journalist with the local paper, and Janelle covers everything entertainment! This week, they bring in Mike Ajango with Evergreen Theater. Mike shares a number of performances they have coming up over the next few months, and also talks briefly about a great summer program for kids that Evergreen puts on. Discussion of all the great music, theater, and arts in the area reminds us how lucky we are to have many great performance venues, large and small, in Northeast Wisconsin. Then a friend of the show, Reggie Desamour, owner of Area 509 in Appleton, joins to talk about his new food truck, "Busted Spud," and some of the events they have planned this summer. Reggie has an interesting backstory! His passion for cooking started at a young age when he would be in the kitchen with his mother in Haiti. The youngest of three sons, he helped with a variety of chores, but cooking was his favorite. His passion was there! Early in 2019, Reggie decided to turn a hobby into a business and began the process of building his own food trailer. He wanted his food trailer to feature his authentic Caribbean food while allowing him to travel to different communities and connect with people. Roxanne even made us some rum cakes for his visit!

Headlines and A Slice!
Janelle Fisher from the Green Bay Press Times brings Marc Jimos and Ellen Moon with the Ashwaubenon High School Band. The band just returned from performing in New York for the St. Patrick's Day Parade. We're impressed with the experiences these kids and their band directors can take part in. A GREAT local story. That story leads into another great story of a five-generation business in Two Rivers! Schroeder's Department store is featured in Teri Barr's new "Slice of Wisconsin" feature, and she gives Jim and John an exclusive kick-off of the story!
