Ron Vigue also contributes to "Bluegrass Day" as a host. Vigue's been involved as a host on D28 for 3 years, and is a past winner of the Telecommunications Center's Elizabeth Mills O'Bleness Award for Community Participation in Public Broadcasting.

Vigue lives in Junction City, Ohio with his wife Pat. He became interested in bluegrass by way of country music, searching for a more traditional sound.

He's a member of the band, "Whitey's Wonders," and has 3 children (including a son who plays fiddle).

He got involved at the radio station first as a fan -- one of our regular Showdown attendees. During his visits, he befriended Marie Dickson, BJ Ferrebee, Deanna Tribe, and Pete Hart, and visited often in the studio.

While at first shy about being on the radio, he agreed to try it after prodding from Marie and Pete. Now an old hand, he handles the studio end on Showdown Sundays, and usually hosts another Sunday during the month as well.
