Live! From The Pinheads Beach!!!

Dean Metcalf, the Executive Producer of The Bob & Tom Show, has been
involved with the Beach Ball since its inception in 2004! For his dedication, he
was honored with the Beach Ball Community Award in 2014. He has often
stated that his father’s passing during his teen years gave him an appreciation
for the type of support provided in the Abbie Hunt Bryce Home! He and his
lovely wife Shannon are very passionate about animal welfare issues and are
the proud parents of three adopted dogs. Dean lives out that commitment as a
Board Member of Friends of Indianapolis Animal Care Services. In his spare
time, Dean plays guitar and bass in a few bands, including Beach Ball
favorites, The Tempos!

Julie Patterson returns, by popular acclaim, for her third year sharing Host
and Emcee duties for the Beach Ball, after serving as Honorary Chair in 2019!
Julie is a Ball State University graduate and has been a local broadcast fixture
for many years. You may have listened to her morning show on WZPL in the
90's and early 2000's.

She transitioned to television and spent the next 11 years as the morning traffic
anchor for WISH TV. Recently Julie decided to ditch those early morning
hours. She is currently the Communications and Special Projects Coordinator
for the Town of Cumberland, IN. "These are my giving back years" she says
of her current day job. I get to plan fun events for my community. Check out
the Town’s Blues, Beer and BBQ events during the summer months and
Cumberland’s big Christmas celebration, Weihnachtsmarkt, in December. Julie
has 3 grown children, 1 perfect grandson and a husband that loves to go to
fundraisers with her!
