Pocket Park, Trash Piles & Thunderbolts | What’s Up Big Rapids Ep. 17

This week on What’s Up Big Rapids, we’re talking trash piles, Thunderbolts, and teacher love 💥🗑️🍎. Chris gets trapped at a conference, Pat reviews Thunderbolts, and we send our best to Chris’s dad, who had a rough week 🙏.

We’ve got the latest on Ferris graduation, bulk item pickup, Farmer’s Market opening, and not one — but two — mentions of Pocket Park events (yes, we noticed) 🌽🎶. Plus: Summerfest, Mother’s Day at The Peaks, teacher appreciation, and Dom attempts to bring back the Ice Bucket Challenge... for reasons unknown. 🧊😅
