Join us on tomorrow's WHFR Journal when we share a fun debrief of Pawchella 2025. We'll also share a special PRX program from the series I SEE YOU on Juneteenth, which originally aired July, 2022. Many view Juneteenth as a celebration for those slaves in Texas who finally received word on June 19th, 1865, that they were free. In 2021, Juneteenth was made a national holiday. Some scholars are now questioning that move. Host Eddie Robinson chats with the woman who was the driving force behind Juneteenth becoming a national holiday, Miss Opal Lee, and more.

WHFR thanks our Loyal Listeners for helping to make PAWCHELLA 2025 such a great event this year!

Twenty-one animals were adopted over the weekend thanks to the extra visibility this event brings to Friends for Animals of Metro Detroit.

The two-day, feel-good festival celebrated the joy of animals, community, and second chances. Hosted at the newly expanded MaryAnn Wright Animal Adoption & Education Center, 383 attendees helped PAWCHELLA raise critical funds needed to help care for the nearly 2,500 animals cared for by Friends for Animals each year.

Many thanks to all who made this event a success, and especially to our listeners who stopped up to our WHFR tent to say hello!
