Join us for a journey down memory lane as we reminisce about the golden days of summer in our beloved city. The program presenters will transport you back in time with captivating stories and cherished photos, allowing you to relive the magic of Muncie's summers.

And what about those unforgettable summer date nights? From picnics in the park to movies at the drive-in, Muncie was brimming with possibilities for romance and fun.
