HELLO Listen Local Fam!

This week is all about BIG news involving some BIG events in the Brainerd Lakes Area.

We kick off the episode with Eryk Haapajoki from Smiles for Jake. Eryk gives us an update on events they have been and will be hosting, and for anyone who doesn't know about the Smiles for Jake foundation, he tells the backstory of how the foundation got started.

Eryk then leads into how he and Smiles for Jake got involved with Lakes Jam. While discussing that, we bring in his friend and GM of Lakes Jam, Ken Lacy to the show. Ken and Eryk reminisce on some of the most memorable experiences working together, as well as dive into the importance of men's mental health!

From there Ken does give us some updates to Lakes Jam 2022, including some big news with the Camping. Tune in to find out how you can lock up some more exclusive spots, as soon as this weekend. We also dive into ALL of the bands and performers that are going to be at the event this year. From Tesla to Gabby Barrett to Jordan Davis to Jon Pardi and so much more!!

Lakes Jam will also be hosting a Ice Fishing Extravaganza kickoff party at the Northern Pacific Center on Friday Jan. 28th, the night before the Extravaganza.

Speaking of the Extravaganza, Andrew Jay and Shane Meyer from the Brainerd Jaycees stop by to give us some big updates to this year's event! We also announce the WINNER of our Listen Local Extravaganza Ticket Giveaway! So make sure to listen through the WHOLE episode to see who won!
