We trade sled runs for city plans with Mayor Rocky Burgess, unpacking why Ingles is delayed, how the town enforces site standards, and where trails and sidewalks unlock daily life. Along the way, we hit sports, small-business wins, and a fast fix for a washed-out bridge.

• community sled day, churches on the hill, and mayors’ race
• collaboration across three towns to avoid event overlap
• Zach Howard on NIL and the transfer portal effect
