On Today's Episode of The Drive:

3:10 What’s Playing at Rialto Cinemas with Ky Boyd & Joe Mulcaire

4 pm Carmen Snyder, executive director of Sonoma County Farm Trails, joins The Drive to discuss the beloved Gravenstein Apple Fair. Since 2012, Carmen has championed Sonoma County's farmers, local food systems, and agricultural heritage. She joins us to preview this year's Gravenstein Apple Fair, happening Saturday and Sunday, August 8–9, and to talk about why supporting local farms, seasonal food, and community traditions has never been more important.

4:20 pm Our guest is Jeff Burkhart, longtime Pacific Sun contributor and one of the North Bay's most curious storytellers. His latest cover story uncovers the surprising Cold War history hidden in the Marin Headlands, where the restored SF-88 Nike Missile Site reveals a little-known chapter of nuclear defense just north of the Golden Gate. We'll talk about the history behind Project Nike, why nuclear-armed missiles once stood in Marin County, and how a simple museum visit turned into a fascinating investigation of the Cold War's lasting legacy.

4:40 pm Joan Kisthardt, owner and organizer of Just Between Friends North Bay, joins us to update us on the region's largest children's and maternity consignment event. She joins us to talk about this summer's sale, happening through Sunday, August 2, at the Santa Rosa Plaza, where families can save 50–90% on gently used kids', baby, and maternity items while keeping perfectly good clothing and gear out of the landfill.
