Take The Anonymous TRF Food Survey (And a reveal about the first episode of the podcast!)
One google form. Five questions. Only a single mention of lutefisk.
First things first, if you are or have been a Thief River Falls local, you can click here to fill out this super short, anonymous food survey and your answers may be used on the podcast!
Speaking of the podcast, my trip back to Thief River Falls last month was a real whirlwind of county fair food, hazy beer garden memories, my 20-year class reunion, and family time among the million pieces of wicker furniture in my parents’ living room.
Don’t worry, I got some much needed Caribou Coffee. (Not sponsored. I WISH.)
I recorded hours and hours of exciting audio which I need to to edit. There was laughter, there were tears (!!!!), I lost my debit card at Taco John’s. I really went through it all.
And now I’ve also got my own narrations to record, and a lot of fine-tuning to do.
I’m currently planning to release episodes starting in September. Of course, I am a production team of one, so that all depends on how things are going as I dive into the editing booth (my home office/my cat’s castle.)
Folks expecting a This Small Town sticker who supported the pod via Indiegogo: the stickers are currently on their way to me and then they’ll be on their way to you!
As a teaser, the title of the first episode of This Small Town will be—
Love In The Tundra.
From the scandalous century-old tale of Matilda LaBree’s wild journey from TRF to San Francisco with a married man, to my smoky first kiss in a campground in 1999, to mushroom-hunting dates in 2023, and late-night rejections at the Rusty Nail — we’ll cover it all, and then some.
