What's on the agenda today?

This edition of The Bulletin comes to you with best wishes for the summer ahead and some new ideas for those family reunions, picnics and  barbecues, for the harvest from your garden and for quick and cool dishes  on the hot days to come. Special guests on The Open Line this spring have  brought recipes that are good for our heart, great for the grill and straight from the Farmer's Markets. As you receive this issue we are just finishing a fun contest with The Midland Dairy Council and Mr. Food, the TV chef, where our listeners prepared original recipes for mega cheese sandwiches to win many great local prizes from The Kitchen Experts in Cedar Rapids and Coralville, and a chance at the national prize of a trip for two to The Super Bowl plus $3000!!
