This podcast is a visit with the city of College Station's assistant parks and recreation director Kelly Kelbly and WTAW's Bill Oliver.

The city of College Station went to social media apologizing for tall grass in city parks.

Assistant parks director Kelly Kelbly says the rain has been the number one issue.

That's followed by the city's contractor not being able to find workers because of the nationwide labor shortage.

Kelbly says city employees, who do not normally mow neighborhood parks, are now assisting until the city's contractor can catch up.
