Juneteenth is coming up on Wednesday, June 19th, 2024. This week's episode is a two-parter (all in one episode). In the first half, I speak with County Executive Josh Schoemann and Boys & Girls Club Executive Director Jay Fisher about Washington County’s 5th annual Juneteenth Day celebration. We delve into the significance of Juneteenth, the evolution of the event, and the collaboration between the county and the Boys & Girls Club.
