The Coffee Break Podcast

In a jam-packed show, we chat with Kevin Tenney from the Lewis and Clark County Fairgrounds. There's still not much happening, but things are in the works for the future there. Then we hear from the guys at the Oddfellow Inn and Farms about what it was like being right in the path of yesterday's fire. Mark Piskolich finishes us out, telling us why he is running for Justice of the Peace in Lewis and Clark County. 

We kick off the show chatting with Voices of Montana host Tom Schultz. We then manage to lose our battle with technology, and I attempt to fill the remainder of the show!

We check in with Montana Supporting Military, and then find out what's happening with our friends at the United Way of the Lewis and Clark Area

The Edgewater Farms Corn Maze is up and running, and we get all the information about how you can enjoy that for an afternoon or evening. Then we check in with the Helena Police Department about some break-ins happening in town, and back-to-school safety. 

We learn about a non-profit set up to help people find what insurance is right for them, particularly if they've lost coverage in this pandemic. We then chat with the ladies from Florence Crittenton about their upcoming fundraiser. 

We check in with some of our friends from St. Pete's, and talk mental health and wellness, and also find out some of the things you and your kids can do to stay healthy as school gets back underway. 

Brandi Thomas with Child Care Connections fills us in on the challenges surrounding child care during the coronavirus pandemic - both for parents and guardians and for the providers. 

Mike Fasbender and Julie Dooling chat with us about proposed zoning in the Helena valley. They aren't against the intent, but they also believe there's a better way to get it done. 

We're joined by a couple of our friends from Intermountain, and we talk about just how COVID-19 and the social distancing - sometimes isolation - is impacting the community. Specifically, we discuss the impact on our kids. 

Mike Mergenthaler with the Helena Area Chamber of Commerce sits down to talk about what things in the community are looking like amid the coronavirus pandemic, and just what's ahead for the Chamber.
