Close to Home: Barrel Racing

Grant Frashier

This time Close to Home takes a look at barrel racing.  We visit a Thursday night barrel race series being held at Rock Island Ranch north of Grand Rapids.  It is one of many similar events held through 0ut the state each week.  

Grant Frashier is an adventurous kind of guy. Not only does he produce the Close to Home segment where he takes us with him to historic sites and local events, he has been a lighthouse keeper in the Apostle Islands and has worked a buffalo roundup in the western Dakota badlands. He's also has a keen sense of good barbeque and beer. Grant can be counted on to bring tasty treats to staff meetings as well as provide one of the most unique laughs you've ever heard. One time? At a class reunion, Grant went unnoticed until an hour and half into it when he started laughing.
