Helloooo Listen Local Listeners!

Election season is upon us on the National, State and Local levels. While the crew doesn't often discuss politics on the show... Colton, Isaiah and Jacob did catch up with Nisswa Mayor John Ryan on today's episode. Mayor Ryan, who has lived in the Brainerd Lakes Area almost his entire life, on why he felt it was important to run for re-election and dives into why he is the best choice for Nisswa Mayor in this upcoming election. He also dives into what city projects he's been a part of during his tenure, and which he is looking forward to if he gets re-elected. Including one that would be a HUGE change to Ye Old Pickle Factory.
Thanks to Mayor Ryan for joining the show, and good luck in this upcoming election!

Hi Listen Local Fam!

It's officially CRMC Championship month out at Cragun's Legacy Courses. On that note, we chat with a couple of people that have a lot to do with the tourney.

First, someone who has helped form this tournament into one of Minnesota's largest professional golfing events, Cragun's Legacy Courses Director of Golf, Jack Wawro. From the prep to the week of events, Jack tells us all about this PGA of Americas golf tournament. He also discusses their partnership with our friends at CRMC, and how they will be the name partner for years to come. All of that plus the week-of schedule, how you can caddie and volunteer, scorers and more updates from Jack!

After Jack signs off, our pal Anderson Daniels calls into the show. Anderson will be playing that Friday - the 30th - night during "Ladies Night." To go along with his performance, he'll also be a part of the BlazeAir/Listen Local Pro Am Team earlier that week, so the LL crew really interrogate AD to see how good he really is at golf.

Thanks so much to Jack and Anderson for joining and stay tuned this whole month for any and all updates to the CRMC Championship!

Hi everyone!

Hope you've had a great week. We have a wonderful episode for you today so lets dive right into it!
So without our amazing sponsors this show couldn't be what it is, and sometimes our sponsors even want to hop on for a segment, and thats just what Nate Hill of Hills Detailing Center did this week!

Nate stops by to talk about how crazy busy he's been, what the growth has been like, starting as a mobile detailing biz to now moving to a 7000 sqft shop (with a few stops in the middle), and most importantly... the implementation of Tinting to his detailing business. Super informative episode, especially if you like tips for your vehicle looking the best it can. And thanks again to Nate for stopping by!

After Nate leaves, the LL crew chats about what to do this weekend, some local updates, and how it is the LAST WEEK to get your Best of Brainerd Lakes votes in.

Thanks so much to Rocky for taking time to call into the show, and the Listen Local team is super excited for the Golf Tourney this weekend.

And as always... Thanks to our sponsors Hanneken Insurance, Lakes Area CPAs, Hills Detailing Center, Posture Pro Chiropractic, Craguns Legacy Courses and of course our presenting sponsor Tyler Gardner with Pequot Lakes and Gull Lake Sanitation!
