Join us as we celebrate the 95th anniversary of Ted Drewes Frozen Custard, a beloved St. Louis institution.

We also discuss the Drewes family's unique Christmas tree farm in Nova Scotia. Additionally, we explore the 1904 World's Fair exhibit at the Missouri History Museum, featuring a 3D printed replica of the fairgrounds.
