Support your local university as they head for a championship! We’re cheering on the Bears of Lenoir-Rhyne Football and wondering why you aren’t there? Michael is worked up over the pruning efforts (or lack there of) but if anything can bring him out of that nasty mood – it’s Holiday Lights! We’ve got our first newsMESH contest!

We’ve got the scoop on the Food Network visiting Hickory and a shout out to our buddy, Lamar. Mary-Margaret wraps up the show with a review of Fatbacks and pays tribute to her alma mater with a little “Fair Star of Caroline”… she even gets Michael to join in!
