Maiden Missoula

Blog by Leah Lewis

Buy local! Missoula radio personality, Leah Lewis gives us her take on Missoula-made sundries!

Leah lives the dream on Missoula’s Northside with her handsome and handy husband Mark, daughters Zoe and Mila, two dogs and a cat. She enjoys making things on her sewing machine, with her knitting needles and in her kitchen.

You can listen to her play today’s pop music every day on Fresh 104.5 FM. You might catch Leah and her family relaxing in their backyard, cheering on the Missoula Osprey, or rooting for the Lady Griz on any given weekend.
