The Sunny Side of Life with Troy Thompson

Send us a text

This week, Uncle Wes Koskela stops by Sunnyside on his way to the races in North Dakota. Meet the Ringmaster of the Spectacle this week on The Sunnyside of Life!

Wes began as a small-time announcer for truck and tractor pulls in North Dakota but through moxy and creativity he found a way to make an entire career out of announcing, promoting, and boosting truck and tractor pulls, monster trucks, combine demolition derbies, hot rods and even women's professional mud wrestling all over North America. This is truly a pursuit which makes one happy and there are lots of great stories and lessons along the road he's happy to share with us all. Journey back with us as we wax on about making fairs great again and discover how amazingly "creative you can become when you're hungry." As Wes says, "I could tell 'em anything and they'd believe it!"

Also, we hear from our good friend, Nate Forsberg who shares with us an opportunity to help build a well in Uganda for kids in need of clean, fresh water. You can even join The Sunnyside of Life team in-person to walk with us August 13th or just by providing your donation by clicking here https://support.h4ki.org/team/514227 Let's make Nate do as many jumping jacks as we can and in the process do God's work for kids in need!
