West and Clear Podcast – “Prairie Fest Preview”
by Pete WannEditor’s Note:At about 5 minutes into the show, the air compressor kicks on in the bike shop. Turn your speakers down. It only lasts about 15 seconds.
This week’s guest is Don Young, the man behind the Friends of Tandy Hills and lead organizer of Prairie Fest, which will be held on Saturday, the 26th from 11AM to 7PM.
Also this week:
Don’t forget to get out and vote on Tuesday in the Democratic Primary runoff for Railroad Commissioner.
There will be a $60 buy-in charity poker tournament benefiting the Euless Trinity Trojans Football team this Friday at the Rahr & Sons Brewery. The tournament starts at 7PM. I have no info on prizes.
If you’re looking for a way to spend your morning on Saturday the 26th, you could do worse than to start at Dane Fest in Keller. (Why NOT hit two Fests in one day?) Normally we don’t plug things outside the city limits, but this is a good cause.
Special thanks to this episode’s sponsor: Rahr and Sons Brewing. They tell me that Summertime Wheat is in the works and should be out within the next two months, just in time for 100 degree weather. The Monk tells me that local beer is the best no matter the style, because it’s as fresh as it can be without drinking directly from the bottling line hoses. (He also says that the “local is better” rule only applies if your local brewery makes good beer.)
