🎉 Wrapping Up 2024! 🎉

As we close out another year, we want to send a HUGE thank you to all our loyal listeners for sticking with us through a transformative yet amazing 2024!

This year was packed with highlights that made us laugh, cry, and cheer:
✨ We raised awareness during Mental Health Awareness Month
🍎 Celebrated local educators during Teacher Appreciation Month
📚 Cleared local educators school supply lists
🎸 Rocked out during Rock & Roll HOF week
💼 Followed the inspiring journey of the Claymont Business Program Junior Achievement Team
🎤 Showcased talent from the First Town Days Festival Talent Show
🎙️ Welcomed local leaders and past WJER DJs for "DJ for a Day"
🎡 Had so much fun with the kids at the Tuscarawas County Fair
🏈 Got fired up during Dover-Phila Week
🏅 Interviewed an Olympian & National Champions from Kent State University at Tuscarawas
🧀 Enjoyed WAY too much delicious cheese from Yaggi Cheese House (but who's complaining?)
💔 And saw a bittersweet moment as Michele said farewell to her OG cohost, Ryan

To each of you who tuned in, joined the fun on Facebook, or participated in these special moments, THANK YOU for making it all worthwhile. Here's to an even bigger and better 2025! 🥂🎊

Drop your favorite memory from this year in the comments! We’d love to hear how YOU were part of the journey. 💬👇
