It’s a sizzling summer Friday on Rocky’s Downtown Hour! Rocky kicks things off with a splash—reminiscing about Island Park Pool’s grand reopening (and the epic slide that made childhood dreams come true). Then we dive into downtown happenings with a shoutout to the local police picnic, Broadway Square splash pad, and the buzz of summer energy in Fargo.
Special guests include:
-
🎤 Frederick Edwards – Host of Fargo’s Juneteenth Celebration, sharing the powerful history behind the day and what to expect from Saturday’s all-day community block party at Broadway Square (educational series, music, soul food, and free eats for kids!).
-
🎸 Jeffrey Foucault – Americana music legend dropping in to chat about his July 2nd concert in downtown Fargo. He shares his songwriting philosophy, road trip soundtracks, and stories about touring with guitarist Eric Koskinen (who might just steal the show).
-
🏛️ Charlie Johnson – Longtime leader of Visit Fargo-Moorhead, joins to talk about the vision for a new Fargo Convention Center, the booming visitor economy, and how conventions can power the local future.
🎡 Street fairs, raccoon mascots, and future downtown upgrades round out this fun, local-focused episode you won’t want to miss.
☀️ Whether you’re a Fargo local or just love Americana vibes, community events, and a good story—you’ll want this one in your summer podcast playlist.
