<p>Happy St. Paddy's Day everyone!</p> <p>On today's show the crew catches up with Crosslake Mayor Jackson Purfeerst to talk prep for the St. Paddy's Day Parade, some of his best memories, and where he feels the best spot to watch is. </p> <p>Also... Jackson has been making moves on the politcal landscape as well, and making appearances on Fox News, Fox and Friends and more. And now, he was just invited to speak at CPAC and sit on a panel that includes YouTube influencer Nick Shirley. If you remember Nick was the influencer who went into many of the daycares in Minneapolis that were tied to the State Fraud cases. One last thing on Jackson, he will be running for the Crow Wing Power Board. The guy is all over the place and it's been fun following his journey!</p> <p>Then in Local Happenings the guys chat about local sports, a Chris Tungseth American Idol update, Hockey Day MN update, Lakes Area Heroes update and just more updates all around!</p> <p>Thanks, as always, to our 2026 sponsors <a href="https://www.lakestrash.com/">Pequot Lakes and Gull Lake Sanitation,</a> <a href="https://www.hannekeninsurance.com/">Hanneken Insurance</a>,<a href="https://www.postureprochiropractic.com/https://www.craguns.com/golf"> Craguns Legacy Courses</a>, <a href="https://www.partytimerentalmn.com/">Party Time Rental,</a> <a href="https://www.bensmarine.com/">Bens Marine and Motorsports</a> and our PRESENTING SPONSOR <a href="https://lakesareacpas.com/">Lakes Area CPAs!</a></p> <p>Instagram:</p> <p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/listenlocalmn/">ListenLocalMN</a><br><a href="https://www.instagram.com/blazeairproductions/">BlazeAirProductions</a><br><a href="https://www.instagram.com/woodstowatermn/">WoodsToWaterMN</a><br><a href="https://www.instagram.com/northwoodsagent/">NorthwoodsAgent</a></p> <p> </p> <p>Facebook:<br><a href="https://www.facebook.com/ListenLocalMN/">Listen Local MN</a><br><a href="https://www.facebook.com/BlazeAirMn/">BlazeAirMN</a><br><a href="https://www.facebook.com/woodstowatermn">WoodsToWaterMN</a></p>
