Today, with the help of Pat Kreitlow, Todd continues broadcasting from the Northern Wisconsin State Fair in Chippewa Falls! To kick off the show, we introduce one of the fair exhibitors: Sue the chicken, presented by her owner Kaylea! Todd and Pat ask Kaylea all about how she got into raising chickens and what it’s like. 

You never know who you’re going to run into at the fair! After speaking with Kaylea, we welcome Josh Schoemann, a Republican who recently announced his candidacy for Governor. He has a strong background in the military, ministry, and local government. He is striving to improve bipartisan cooperation to strengthen education and reduce the cost of housing in our state. Learn more about him and his campaign at joshshoemann.com. 

At the bottom of the hour, we welcome Wisconsin filmmaker B.J. Hollars and his collaborator Steve Dayton back to the program to discuss their latest project! B.J. and Steve are best known for When Rubber Hit The Road, a documentary on the closure of Eau Claire’s Uniroyal tire plant. Right now, they’re working on Kings of Kubb, a film celebrating the greatness of the Nordic sport we talked about yesterday. Head over to firesideproductionsllc.com to learn more about B.J. and Steve’s projects and support their work! 

Finishing up our first hour, we run into James Kelly, the Northwest Wisconsin Bureau Chief of Civic Media News!
