Melody is back behind the desk to share with you some blogs to check out and some events to attend. Next Jesse will talk about next week's guest Joseph Bolton and an amazing event he's starting in Leominster. The Leominster French Canadian Festival is happening June 22nd, Melody and Mike will be at the event and we hope everyone in the area will be able to attend. We hope you'll check out the full interview next week to learn about Joseph, the festival and a graphic novel type book he's working on.
