Falling for You

Good morning, Pleasant Valley.

This is WPVK, the voice of Pleasant Valley.

Lacey Hathaway here.

I hope everyone's enjoying this glorious fall day.

Now, I don't know about you

but when the leaves start to fall

I've got one thing on my mind.

Staying warm.

And I've heard sweaters and jackets do the trick

but I much prefer munching something sweet

straight out of the oven.

If you feel the same then you're in luck.

Just two weeks until the bachelor bake-off,

a magical night of food, music, and bachelors baking desserts.

Bid on a dessert and win a date with a bachelor.

It's a fundraiser, a party,

and auction all rolled into one and all for a good cause.

Raising money for our local radio station.

Up until now we stayed on air thanks to local funding,

but with town budget cuts we need your help.

So if you love your radio station and wanna help save it

then buy tickets to the bake-off.

And now on today's segment of Another Day in Paradise:

Stories from around Pleasant Valley,

a heartwarming and hilarious yarn about the knitting club.

Hey, Beth.

How was your drive?

It felt short but that might be the excitement.

I feel like a kid on Christmas morning,

which means my adult equivalent of Christmas is work.

I think that's just because you're good at it

and you love what you do.

I emailed you your lodging info.

You're staying at this super cute guest house.

You'll have a bedroom, office, access to the kitchen-

What about the uh-

And yes, they have high speed wifi.

I made sure to ask.

Am I that predictable?

I'll call back this evening.

Alright. Thank you.

And before Sandra jumps in,

a reminder that the canning club's annual jam sale

is next week,

plus I'll be selling tickets to the bachelor bake-off.

Up next is Sandra with today's announcements

so if you wanna find out what's new and exciting around town,

stay tuned.

Thanks, Lacey.

Hi folks.

Try-outs for the town musical Triumph of Love

are tonight at 6pm followed by a town hall meeting

which will be broadcast live.

So if you can't make the meeting tune in here.

And now for some not so good news

that Pete Taves broke his arm,

and right in the middle of harvest season.

Pete, get well soon and call in,

let us know how we can help.

Miss you.

Fill your baskets, we will see you at the Main Street Garden...

Ta-dah.

Ty, you fixed it. You're amazing.

Ah, it was easy.

Just changed the damaged track and fixed the amp input issue.

I have no idea what you just said but thank you.

You are the radio station's best intern ever.

I think I'm the station's only intern ever.

Still.

As you know, we are approaching our annual lantern walk,

Pleasant Valley's most romantic ritual as we transition

form fall to winter.

...A big win last night for our Pleasant Valley cardinals.

If you're trying to decide what to order,

better to ask a local.

I'd say go with the pumpkin latte.

Uh, appreciate the uh, input,

but I'm a black coffee kinda guy.

Oh, they mull their own spices here.

Appreciate the tip. Thanks.

One black coffee to go, please.

Well, you might not like pumpkin lattes

but what about pumpkin pie?

The town radio station has lost its funding

and I'm raising money by hosting a bake-off.

You mean a bake sale?

No, a bake-off.

Uh, what's the difference?

Well, an entire word, to start.

And it's a different concept.

Are you guys selling dessert?

In a way.

Sounds like a bake sale.

The bake-off is a fundraiser for the radio.

It still sounds like a bake sale.

It's not.

It's a bachelor bake-off.

It'll be a big party where four of the town's bachelors

will all bake a dessert

and at the end we'll have a silent auction

where the winning bidder gets the dessert

and a date with the bachelor.

A bachelor bake-off.

Ok.

Oh.

It's in two weeks.

You know, I actually may not be in town.

Ok, I'm just gonna get two of them.

Oh, great.

Does that cover it?

Yeah.

Ok.

Wonderful.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

Thanks.

Yeah.

Good luck with the bake sale.

Bake-off.

Right. Bake-off.

Hey, Lacey.

I was looking for you.

There's my star bake-off bachelor.

I'm guessing this isn't good news.

Well, good news and bad news.

Jenny-Lynn and I have started dating.

Oh. And you're not a bachelor anymore.

I don't wanna bake for anyone but Jenny.

And I've had your delicious apple pie

so I'm guessing Jenny doesn't want you baking

for anyone else, either.

I'm sorry, Lacey.

I know there's only two weeks until the bake-off.

It's ok. I'll figure something out.

So you'll be able to replace me?

You are irreplaceable, but I'll find a fourth bachelor.

Alright. See ya.

And next up we have Nick with the Farmer's Almanac report.

Oh, just hang on a moment, folks,

as we have everyone's favourite interruption, Lacey Hathaway.

Hi friends.

Exciting bake-off news.

We have a newly opened slot for a replacement bachelor

so if you've ever had any culinary aspirations

or just wanna help me out of a jam,

come on by my office at the radio station.

That sounds like so much fun.

I wish I could volunteer.

Hear that, bachelors?

Don't let Sandra take your spot.

Ok, back to our regularly scheduled program

we've got Nick with the Farmer's Almanac report.

Your home is lovely.

Thank you.

And please, let me know if there's anything

at all I can do to make you more comfortable.

Just lots of coffee.

Oh, there's always coffee.

My niece, who also lives here, makes sure of that.

And, if you're ever in town and need a cup,

come by my bakery.

It's called Patty Cakes.

You know what, Patty?

I think I was just there.

Small world.

No. Small town.

You're here three weeks, right?

That's right.

What brings you to Pleasant Valley?

Work.

I'm a software engineer.

I developed a program

and Pleasant Valley's been testing it out.

Now I'm here to iron out the wrinkles,

or at least try to.

It sounds like you'll be very busy

and needing a lot of coffee, not to mention midnight snacks,

so lucky for you there is always something freshly baked.

Hi, Sam.

Hi.

I didn't know you baked.

Oh.

Try one.

They're vanilla pinwheels.

I actually already had- already had lunch.

Oh.

But Lacey hasn't eaten so she'll try.

Mmm.

What do you think?

It's very... crispy.

But thank you.

Thank you, Sam, so much for coming in.

We really- we really appreciate it.

Ok.

Thank you.

Ok, well, you know what? We have some options.

Mmm.

I know, it's just that, Ryan was the town favourite.

He was a former all-state quarterback

with the best apple pie in all of New England.
