Heard on the Radio: "Dirt Bag Day"

We've come across many festivals over our 20 years of "On the Road" chronicling. Hundreds of July 4th events, a multitude of Spring Blossom festivals, various Maple Sugaring Days.

There are communities battling over designations such as "Chili" or "BBQ" or "Pumpkin"Capital. We have even covered the "Hamburger Hearings" which was convened to determined what community could lay claim to being the birthplace of the hamburger.

It seems we recently came across an event unique in name, if nothing else.

This week on XM Radio's Left Jab, we spoke about "Dirt Bag Day" which is taking place this weekend at the Big Sky Ski Resort in Montana.

You can find out about the origins of this event, what happens and just what it takes to be a true dirt bag by listening to the program over the radio (XMPR, Channel 133, Sunday, 8 a.m. EDT/11 p.m. PDT) or accessing the interview via podcast at http://www.leftjabradio.com
