Grantee Event– Wonderland Radio Hour in Monte Rio

WONDERLAND RADIO HOUR

Prairie Home Companion meets Amateur Radio Hour in a series of live radio shows to be recorded at the historic Rio Theater in beautiful downtown Monte Rio. This series of community-produced, community-inspired recorded programs will then be broadcast on KRCB Radio.   Each hour will showcase local musicians, artists, writers and characters from various areas of the Lower Russian River Area, from Forestville to Jenner-by-the-Sea.

local historian John Shubert

disco hit makers of the 80’s

stories about the establishment of the only parks west of the Rockies privately owned and operated by a non-profit organization
