Wheels PREMIERE: Broadcast – May 20, 2023; Digital – April 8, 2023
EVENTS & ENGAGEMENT
May 26, 2023 | Fagen Fighters WWII Museum | Granite Falls, MN | Attendance: Nearly 300 On the Friday before Memorial Day, we held an event at Fagen Fighters WWII Museum. We screened the film Remembering WWII: Heroes & History to four sold-out audiences. Some of the veterans featured in the film were able to make it and receive the recognition they so richly deserve.
DESCRIPTION Explore the interesting connection people have with wheels. Since the creation of the wheel around 3500 B.C., there have been steady improvements and uses for the wheel. Discover the interesting stories behind the people and their hobbies at car shows, private collections, threshing bees, farm shows, or with anything that involves wheels. We decided to present “2nd Gear” because of the strong viewer response to the first Wheels . One of the segments last year featured Virgil Fults. We learned that when Virgil passed, his family played Virgil’s segment in the lobby of the funeral home for all to watch. It had meant that much to them, and to Virgil. New this year, we released the segments online as they were completed, beginning in April.
