Mystery Monday

Today was Mystery Monday and I got to hide something in the Mystery Box!

After Joe did the hearing test and the smell test, Janice from Danville called in and correctly guessed that the mystery item was a blueberry bagel.

We talked about Take Dad To Dinner, where you can tell us why you love your dad for his chance to win some awesome prizes, including a $25 gift card to Jake’s Restaurant. You can find out more on that over here.

We also talked about the Danville/Howard Turkey Festival, which kicks off this Wednesday. We’ll be giving away a total of 9 different prize baskets for all different ages. You can find out everything you need to know and also register for those prize baskets by clicking here.

Our word of the day was Brobdingnagian, which is a noun meaning a giant, and an adjective meaning marked by tremendous size. Joe pointed out that you may recognize this word from the book and children’s tale, Gulliver’s Travels.

Have a great week and thanks for listening!

It was Mystery Monday, and we asked a mystery question about snacks. Brad from Mt.Gilead correctly called in and answered that the two most popular snack foods in the USA are potato chips and chocolate. You can see where your favorite snack food ranks not only in the US, but globally over here!

Our word of the day was purfle, which means to ornament the border or edges of.

We also talked about the Danville/Howard Turkey Festival that is coming up. It will take place June 17th-20th at Danville’s Village Park. We also talked about Relay for Life, which will take place June 19th & 20th. Make sure to look for our Big Blue Crew as we go On The Road with Big Blue to these and many other events this summer!

Thanks for listening and have a fantastic week!
