Alright, y’all, this one hits close to home. We just released a brand-new episode of We Are Grant County, and it’s all about the heart, hustle, and quiet magic of 4-H in Grant County.

Katie and I sat down with Mason Malin, our local 4-H agent, and wow—this conversation is packed. We’re talking real impact, real stories, and the behind-the-scenes work that’s shaping the next generation of leaders, doers, and big dreamers right here at home.

💚 What you’ll hear in this episode:
• What 4-H actually is (spoiler: it’s way more than animals and summer camp)
• Why volunteers are the backbone of everything
• How today’s youth programs are adapting to busy schedules
• Success stories that’ll make you stop and think, “Okay, THAT matters.”
• Mason’s own wild journey—from 4-H shooting sports to college opportunities he never expected

Grant County… buckle up, because this week’s episode is straight-up GOLD. ✨ We are having the time of our lives with these podcasts — meeting incredible people, uncovering hidden gems, and realizing this county is doing WAY more cool stuff than anyone gives it credit for. We sat down with Dianna and Connie from the Kentucky Homemakers, and these ladies BROUGHT IT. We’re talking real talk, real stories, real community magic. If you think “Homemakers” just means crafts and casseroles… think again. These women are out here shaping the county in ways you don’t even realize. Hit play. Trust me. There’s something in this episode for every single person in Grant County.

Today, we pause — not out of habit, but out of deep respect. To every veteran who has served and to every family who has stood beside them: Thank you. Thank you for the years given, the miles walked, the homes missed, the weight carried, and the quiet strength that doesn’t always get seen or celebrated. Service doesn’t belong to one person — it belongs to the whole household. We honor all of you.

If you’re looking for real, local stories that remind us of what service looks like here at home, we’ve shared two conversations on the We Are Grant County podcast that speak directly to that:

🎙️ Patriots Landing – a place offering support, connection, and purpose to veterans in our community.

🎙️ American Legion Post 137 – preserving history, serving veterans, and showing what it means to continue giving back long after active duty.

You can find both episodes under We Are Grant County on your favorite podcast app or follow this link https://toadtalkmedia.com/wrgcpodcast

Today, we remember.
We honor.
We reflect.
And we say, with full hearts:
Thank you for your service.

“If it hadn’t been for the Homemakers and that screening, I might not be here today. I’m a cancer survivor because of them.”

How an annual Homemakers trip saved a life. During our recent We Are Grant County conversation with the Kentucky Homemakers, Diana shared her powerful story about how a simple ovarian cancer screening—something the Homemakers encouraged—ended up saving her life.
She explained how anyone who still has their reproductive organs can get on the screening list through the UK Markey Cancer Center for a yearly check. When she went in, she never expected that visit would lead to a cancer diagnosis.

Early detection truly makes all the difference. 💚

🎧 Hear Diana’s full story and more inspiring conversations in the upcoming Episode #7 of We Are Grant County.
