    Downtown Mishawaka recently had a new destination for family fun open to the community. The Ironworks Ice Rink has been in the works for a while; but as Phil Blasko shared with Courtney, now that it's open it has so much to offer. The Ice Rink and ribbon will have times for open skating, Bumper Cars, and ICEBYKS! Check out this great new space along the river.

    Sometimes a loss for one family can turn into a life saving blessing for another. Or in the case of the Zac Mago Foundation it could mean saving the lives of many young people in the area. Dave sat down with Teresa Mago who shared how the sudden loss of her son Zac to an enlarged heart changed the direction of her life. She's trying to save other families from going through the same devastation that her family went through. A yearly heart screening could be the difference and the foundation offers monthly screenings the first Saturday of every month.
