The "Michigan" Box Has Been Delivered

It all started when a 3rd grader from Virginia named Jacqueline emailed the editor of a local paper wanting to gather some items that represented the state of Michigan for her class project...

Big Jim's House thought it would be a great idea to reach out to listeners for their ideas on what should be in the Michigan box that we wanted to send Jacqueline. You guys came through as always and now Jacqueline has the box and everything that represents this great state!

It all started when a couple of kids were willing to donate some of the Petoskey Stones that they collected over the summer...

After a few weeks of listeners filling up the box, we sent it out to Jacqueline just in time for her class project! Her teacher sent us an awesome email back to tell us house excited Jacqueline was to get her "Michigan box" and sent us photos to prove it!

Dear Ryan, Big Jim, and Erin-

We just received your package from Michigan. OH... MY... GOSH, I cannot tell you how excited Jacqueline was to see all of the super cool items inside the box. I have to admit, I was a little embarrassed by my squeals of delight when I saw the Bob Seger album that you sent for me. HAHA! My students didn't even know what it was. I had to educate them on what a "record album" is, as well as the "true classics" of American music... GEEZ!

We also made sure we hooked up her teacher Mrs. Shari who is a massive Classic Rock Fan!

Mrs. Shari then took to Twitter to thank us and the listeners for making this project one to remember!

Hey It’s Ryan, let me start off by saying…YES, I was born and raised in Wixom, Michigan although a lot of listeners like to joke that I am from Arizona. WCSX has always been my radio home, I have been at the station since I was a 23-year-old intern, co-host of Big Jim’s House, married with kids. Family and radio are what I love, but don’t get me started on golf! Like some, I have become obsessed with golf and you can hear all about that on “The Ball Washer Pod” right here on WCSX. One of my other passions is helping out the Vets. Since coming to WCSX I have been apart of raising hundreds of thousands for local vet groups. Other than that, I am a goofy guy, loving life, my family and talking to you on the radio. Ryan writes about golf, family and what happens on “Big Jim’s House.”
