Hey, this is Emily Vogeltans, and you are listening to the Grove Podcast.

Today's episode is super special because we're getting an inside look into our annual Grove Swap.

As you may have seen or heard by now, the Grove Swap is our yearly clothing exchange that we hold

to capture some of the really special moments. She also got a chance to chat with

expectation for the night. We know you're gonna love these stories as much as we

have. So here's Jordan Johnson at the Grove Grove swap.
