Making and Remembering Heritage History

There are plenty of things for the whole family to do during the Heritage Days celebration. Two Harbors Community Radio is back again this year with more to see and hear.  The THCR booth will be located in the Vendor area near the Historic Depot. Volunteers will be on-hand to hand out KTWH-LP 99.5 FM program schedules as well as answer questions about the station and its mission.

On Friday, July 8th, starting at 11 AM, Nordic Roots host, and on-air personality Arna Rennan will be kicking things off on the Heritage Days stage performing a selection of Scandinavian dance tunes on accordion.

Saturday from 9 to 11 AM the radio station, 99.5 FM, will air rebroadcasts of two shows that will be of interest to residents and visitors alike.

• Harbor Theater Recollections –  recorded in October of 2014 during the Harbor Theater History Celebration. Fans and former patrons reflect on this long-standing local icon.
• The Dixie Bar & Grill – June 27th marked a sad day for local residents. On-air personality Jackie Rennwald interviews former owner Terry Hood as well as Dave Anderson about the history of this now vanished landmark.

Both shows will air again on Sunday, July 10th starting at 11 AM.

Saturday at 1 PM watch for KTWH’s very own Dave Anderson, host of Big Dave’s Beat Farm, and his Beat Farm float in the Heritage Days Parade.

Sunday at 12 noon Two Harbors Community Radio will hold a drawing for three awesome prizes including:

• A 6-in-one Nostalgic Entertainment Center which features both CD and cassette players, turntable, FM radio, plus Bluetooth technology.

• Artwork donated by John & Susanne Bathke.
• Certificate for a one-night stay at The Inn at Gitchee Gumee.
  

New Show Premiere! Sunday at 7 PM will mark the start of the weekly hour-long program, Hear Tomorrow.  The show profiles new music and artists (of every genre) that might not otherwise be getting the attention they deserve.
