OTISCO TOWNSHIP, Mich. (WOOD) —The devastating impact of the coronavirus on Michigan's economy is touching many, but one rural hair salon in Ionia County came up with a simple idea to lift everyone’s spirits.

Kim Thorington, owner of the Treehouse Salon in Otisco Township said, “I have been closed down and it’s been very hard to tell you the truth,” said

Yet outside on the street corner are 'poles of hope'.

She got online and invited people all the way from Lansing to the lakeshore for the simplest pep rally around, calling it the “Poles of Hope.”

“I just did kind of a little live shoot and talked to the background and it has grown like crazy,” Thorington said.
