🎉 Reunited and it feels SO good! 🐾❤️
We are overjoyed to share that Mandy has been safely reunited with her human! After more than 20 days on the move and traveling over 50 miles, this brave pup is finally home.

Thank you to everyone who shared, searched, and kept hope alive—your kindness helped bring Mandy back where she belongs. 💛

This is yet another beautiful example of what makes Ely so special—a community that looks out for each other, two- and four-legged alike. 🐾

Welcome home, sweet girl! 🐶✨

💙 A big shoutout to Frankie for stopping by and sharing the love! Frankie listens all the way from Chicago and supports our local economy because he believes in hometown radio. He even canceled a subscription service because WELY is back on the air—and that’s all he needs. 🎙️📻

Be like Frankie—save some money, support local, and tune into WELY, your hometown voice for news, music, weather, and everything Ely.

We’re so glad to be back—and even more grateful for loyal listeners like YOU. 🙌

🐾🎆 Happy Fourth of July, friends! 🎆🐾
It’s your girl Daisy here, wishing everyone a safe and paws-itively fun holiday! 🇺🇸

Due to the ruff heat, my mom says I have to sit this one out and stay cool at home (honestly, I don’t mind the extra nap time 😴). But keep your eyes out for my mom and the WELY gang in the Ely parade — they’ll be waving big and loud enough for the both of us! 👋💙

Make sure to take care of yourselves out there — it’s a hot one! Stay hydrated, take breaks in the shade, and keep your furry friends cool too. ☀️💧🐾

Stay cool, stay kind, and don’t forget to give your pups an extra treat today! 🐶❤️🤍💙

✈️🛶 The PuddleJumper Park Has Officially Landed in Ely!

Today we celebrated the unveiling of the Puddlejumper Park, featuring a one-of-a-kind, handcrafted replica of a Beaver service plane—designed for kids to climb, play, and let their imaginations take off!

This incredible plane was built by Brad Pearse of Ozfab Welding and Fabrication right here in Ely, Minnesota. Inspired by the legendary bush planes that have long served the Northwoods, this playful tribute is more than just a sculpture—it’s a hands-on adventure zone for the next generation of explorers.

From climbing into the cockpit to turning the propeller, this plane is made for fun, creativity, and good old-fashioned outdoor play.

💙 Huge thanks to Brad, our community partners, and everyone who came out to celebrate! The spirit of Ely lives on—in the sky, on the playground, and in every kid who dreams big.

📸 Behind the Scenes at WELY

We’re still piecing it all together — wires, walls, and all — but that didn’t stop one amazing listener from dropping off homemade muffins today 🧁💙

It’s these small acts of kindness that keep us going while we rebuild.

Thanks to everyone who’s popped in to check on us, share a memory, or just say, “We’re glad you’re back.”
This station is truly powered by community — and we can feel it.

Heads up: WELY is going to be off the air for a little bit. The guys are going some electrical work at the tower site. We'll let you know when we're back up and rockin'. Thanks!
