A Farm Story with Jerry Apps

Thursday, August 8, 9 p.m., WKAR | Watch and call or Give Now for special DVD offers.

Experience farm life in the 1930s and 40s through the eyes of a boy growing up in Wild Rose, Wisconsin, the archetype of rural America, guided by acclaimed author, teacher and historian Jerry Apps.

Like a family photo album, this portrait evokes memories of experiences that created the values of hard work, determination and community.

Together we’ve already reduced WKAR’s $1.6 million budget gap created by the loss of federal funding. With your sustaining support we can close the remaining $500,000 gap and keep trusted public media strong for mid-Michigan. The best way to support WKAR is to become a sustainer. Already a sustainer? Please consider upgrading your current monthly gift.
