WBFH Represents
at Fall Farm Fest!


Over the last couple of years, whenever The Biff showed up to broadcast from the Fall Farm Fest, the staff was met with cold, windy and rainy conditions. Last year, the Saturday broadcast—and the festival itself—ended midway through the day when the downpour intensified. It was a disaster!

This year’s installment the weekend of October 5th and 6th was different! It was perfect.

Ronald Wittebols, Jaden Ryke, Magdalena Leonard, Eugene Belski and Evie Keough anchored the Saturday and Sunday broadcast beginning each day at 10:00 a.m.

It’s a great fall weekend for a change as Operations Manager Ronald Wittebols and Social Media Director Evie Keough take a break during their portion of the live broadcast from Charles L. Bowers School Farm. It's Sunday, October 6.

There were thousands in attendance and the WBFH air talent welcomed two surprise guests: Superintendent Rick West and former WBFH General Manager Pete Bowers! Both stopped by to comment on the crowds, the weather and all the fun activities available.

Pete Bowers revealed that the day after he signed WBFH on the air, the station’s first remote was an ox roast from the school farm! And back then, there was no such thing as remote broadcast equipment; everything was done by phone lines and transformers. Bowers said that he had to order those phone lines to terminate in the root cellar of the barn that still stands today, several hundred feet from the visitor center where that day’s broadcast originated.

Pete Bowers goes in depth about the history of The Biff and rattles off the names of some of its influential alums.
