My first guest this week is Linda Skeens, winner of 32 blue ribbons at the 2022 Virginia Kentucky district fair now turned author after her story went viral on social media.
Linda’s story went viral when a dj from Dallas, Texas made a Tik Tok in an attempt to find the woman who had dominated the Virginia Kentucky district fair for her canning recipes.
She recently published her first cook book featuring a collection of recipes and family stories called “Blue Ribbon Kitchen; Recipes and Tips From Americas Favorite Country Fair Champion”.
She's been featured on The Today Show, Southern living and NPR. You can learn more about her book and life story at https://lindaskeensblueribbon.com/
My second guest is the folk band, Still Frisky from Roanoke, Virginia! Still Frisky is a three part harmony, acoustic four piece, focusing on traditional and roots music. Their sound and band was born out of the Unitarian Universalist Church of Roanoke. In this segment we discuss the intersection of spirituality and harmony.
