Russell "Sonny" Tucker joins us live to preview the Best of the Heartland Food Truck Championship — coming Saturday, March 28th to the Hardin County Fairgrounds in Glendale, Kentucky. 21 food trucks, blind judging, 10 categories, free admission, and an Easter egg hunt for the kids. This is a big one.

Jon O'Brien covers the full week of events — including the Kentucky Kids Consignment Spring Sale at Bluegrass Sportsplex (one of the biggest community events of the year), live music at Cosmic Golf and Lincoln Trail Country Club, the Bloom & Balance Equinox Market, the Ron Jones Jazz Duo, and more.

Rachel Brantingham breaks down the Hardin County housing market for the week of March 10–17: 35 homes went under contract versus 21 new listings, inventory is at 4.3 months and tightening, and the spring market is clearly underway.

Nate Bryan has five business items: LTADD wins a 2026 Best Places to Work designation, Quilted Elephant Studio takes the ByAnnie Creative Hub Award, El Guadalajaras is coming to Lincoln Center, Auntie Anne's Food Truck in Elizabethtown is shutting down, and Song's Kitchen is closed this week before reopening under new management March 30th.

And Britten and Michele McDowell are back with The Experienced Eater — this week, Namaste Indian Cuisine & Bar on North Dixie Highway in Elizabethtown.
