FIANANCIAL EXPERT JORDAN GOODMAN of moneyanswers.com visits on July 8th, 2010!     
   
Gene-Gene "The Walleye Machine" Werre tries to contain his excitement after catching this beauty at our trip to Ballard's Resort on Lake of the Woods on the weekend of July 4, 2010.



A nice 8 pound walleye falls victim to Jason "Quillhead" Hulm. 



Dillon Parker shows up his dad, Phil, with this ten-pound lunker!  He promises to teach his dad to fish "when I have time".



World Famous TV Sportscaster Lee Timmerman met his lofty goal of catching some nice walley, as our guide Gary Moeller says, "and I helped!"  

            
The man who runs Ballard's Resort and who guided us that weekend, Gary Moeller, finally got  a break from baiting Phil Parker's hook and releasing his snags to catch this beauty! 


Zap, North Dakota's most powerful man, Orval Boehler, says "enough is enough!" and launches Phil and Jason into the sparkling waters of the pool at Ballard's Resort.


             
MARK WOOD, formerly of the Trans Siberian Orchestra, stopped by the pH pHactor during a visit to Bismarck.  Thanks to Bill Prokopyk for the picture! 



Thanks to our listeners, nearly 25,000 dollars was raised at the Open Your Heart broadcast on December 5th at Kirkwood Mall. The broadcast is an annual event with KFYR Radio and the American Legion Lloyd Spetz Post #1. From left to right: Phil Parker, Todd "the Radio God" Mitchell, Dolly Dakota, and Jason Hulm.



"The Reindeer Ladies", Mary Wahl and Bonnie Fetch cheerfully greet those bringing donations for Open Your Heart, while Phil and Jason act childish.
