I think that it is safe to say that Our Town: Ridgway’s 2012 edition was a success! What a fantastic night we had in the studio on 9/13. We had a total of 226 people call in with their pledges of support to WPSU. We also had special challenges from the Elks, the Moose, and Cullys, as well as a special promotion happening through Fox’s Pizza, which added additional funds to our total.

Harvesting Tomatoes

Posted by James Eisenstein on 09/04 at 02:29 PM

I’ll wager that when most folks buy green beans, radishes, tomatoes, or nearly any other vegetable, they don’t think much about how they were harvested. Gardeners, of course, know better, but even they can forget that almost every vegetable is harvested by hand, usually one at a time.
