Interview with Samantha Foster-Garrido
In this episode of Bradford Banter, Natasha Philpott chats with lifelong Bradford resident Samantha Foster Garrido—a fundraising professional, avid reader, and self-proclaimed cat enthusiast. Samantha shares what it was like growing up in Bradford before the big box stores arrived, how homeschooling shaped her perspective, and the unexpected joys of building adult Lego sets.
We dive into her career in fundraising, her time at the BWG Public Library, and the simple things she loves about life in our growing town (and shares a fun story about the history of the town's mascot, Gwilly the Carrot).
It’s a cozy, thoughtful, and often funny conversation that celebrates small-town roots and big-hearted passions.
Whether you're a fellow Bradford native or just love a good local story—this one's for you.
