Drum Circles, Trash Pickup & 10,000 Gorillas?! | What’s Up Big Rapids Ep. 16
This week’s episode of What’s Up Big Rapids is loaded with spring energy and summer previews! 🌸🕶️ The Drum Circle is back at the Bandshell 🥁, the city just dropped trash pickup dates 🗑️, and we give you the inside scoop on the new Taco Frida Cantina 🌮 (yes, we tried it and think you should too).
We also chat about new businesses popping up: Pages and Pixels Bookstore 📚, Paris Auto Sales 🚗, and the Jack’s Italian Bakery location now up for sale 🥖. There's also a look at Summerfest, Hemlock Park splash pad, garage sales, and even Pickleball season 🏓.
And of course, we ask the tough questions like: Could 10,000 gorillas beat a million men? 🤯🐒
👇 Drop a comment to tell us your favorite garage sale find or how many gorillas YOU think you could take.
