Episode #1406 - June 26th, 2025
It's a mix of history and entertainment as the South Bend Civic Theatre takes the stage outside at The History Museum. Dave joins some of the actors to find out how "The Importance of being Earnest" is a perfect fit in the historic Oliver Gardens. This is the final weekend to catch the show. Courtney meets with Chautauqua Wawasee to learn about their upcoming Teddy & Edith Roosevelt re-enactment—a chance to step back in time with two iconic figures. She also gets the details on their Patriotic Pops Concert happening right after, bringing music and history together by the lake. Courtney had a chance to sit down and get her hair done by Native Beauty Braids, a local business celebrating natural styles and cultural roots. See how it turned out—spoiler alert: she looks fantastic!
