Keri McHugh and her faithful sidekick Kat Franchino of Missoula YMCA stopped in to talk about Healthy Kids Day this Saturday and the YMCA Riverbank Run two weeks later. Lots of positive energy in the studio.

Carter Finnegan, Youth Program Coordinator for Montana Conservation Corps, visited The Morning Trail to talk about opportunities for area youth to get out in the back country this summer. This is a terrific organization that does great work. Give it a listen.

UM student actor Curen Feliciani joined my on the Morning Trail to talk about The Assassins. In the production he plays an (unsuccessful) assassin. The one fixated on Jody Foster. What kind of a role is that for a nice kid from Dillon, MT? According to Curen, a great one. He'll fill us in.

Katie Didier from C.A.S.A. stopped by The Morning Trail to talk about Saturday's Super Hero Run - and it looks like the weather is going to be unexpectedly cooperative.

Executive Director of United Way of Missoula, Susan Hay Patrick, stops by the morning show to discuss a FUN and UNIQUE way to raise funds for United Way! Join us on June 8th for OVER THE EDGE, and help us cheer on our very own Tommy Evans! 

Alanya sits down with Heather, one of the owners of the Lake Missoula Tea Company, to taste the Butterfly Pea Flower tea and the blends available at LMTC. These lovely blue flowers provide many various health benefits...and they're super fun to drink!

Claire Kleese, Communications Manager and Development Assistant, with the Montana Wilderness School stopped by the Morning Trail (actually, Claire drove all the way in for Bozeman for the interview) to talk about the school and the summer schedule. One of the things Claire really wanted to stress was that there are scholarship opportunities available. The school has adventures lined up for kids 14 through 18 this summer.

Megan Wilshire of MCT joined me Tuesday on the Morning Trail to talk about MCT's production of Once On This Island JR. Megan talks about the cast of teens, the music, the setting and just what the "JR." in the title means.
