Trundlebed Tales

Look ahead at what's happening in Laura Ingalls Wider fandom this month and all this year.

Last year I had requests to do an episode for Almanzo's birthday party, so I'm trying it out. Call in and share your favorite Almanzo stories, what you like best of Malone, Spring Valley, or De Smet. In honor of Almanzo's appetite, your favorite stories about Little House food. Call in and share or share ahead of time. 

Welcome to our fifth annual on air birthday celebration for author and pioneer Laura Ingalls Wilder. Laura fans are invited to call in and share either the story of how they became a Laura Ingalls Wilder fan, their favorite Laura Ingalls Wilder related experience, or annual family traditions based on Laura. I was very pleased with the response the last two years and so we're going to try it again. Based on requests last year, I'm extending it to an hour so you'll have plenty of time to call in. Please consider calling in and sharing your story and if you missed it in 2014, start working on your story for 2015. If you want to share your story, but don't want to talk on air, you can send a story to me ahead of time or in the chatroom live during the show. Live callers or chat get time before sent in stories.

We're going to combine two of our special annual programs. This time we're going to look backward and relive the Laura Ingalls Wilder events of 2014. Then we'll look ahead to what's coming up in 2015. 

This is another combination Trundlebed Tales and Travel Times episode. This time we are going to take a look at West Branch, Iowa. Why are the Laura Ingalls Wilder/Rose Wilder Lane Papers held at the Herbert Hoover Presidential Library and Museum in West Branch? What is a Presidential Library? How did the Hoover complex develop? Also, we'll look at what to do if you visit today, what you can see, where you can stay and where you can eat. I think you'll really love this episode from either the history or the travel angle.
