About this listen

Writer and comedian Allison Page grew up in Thief River Falls, Minnesota, and moved away 15 years ago. Now, she’s back to take you along to the county fair, her class reunion, a haunted crystal shop, and all the nooks and crannies of TRF that only someone who grew up there can show you. 

Put on your fanciest long underwear and grab your best hot dish spoon because you’re on your way to This Small Town.
