summer fun

I'm sure we've all chomped on an ice cream cone or two (or more) during the summer in central New York. And now, an amazing new ice cream...one that changes color before your very eyes. You have to see this.

As a former tour guide at the F. X. Matt Brewing Company, I always look forward to "what's brewing" at the home of Saranac. I just learned that the fourth annual local "Saranac Hop Harvest" will take place on Sunday, August 24th in Bridgewater. Check out what it's all about.

Recently, the New York State Fair held its annual "Homebrew Competition", soliciting a number of beers from homebrewers. And the winning brew will be bottled by the F.X. Matt Brewing Company.

Earlier this summer, my wife and I vacationed in beautiful Sedona, Arizona, which happens to be an area known for its vortex sites. What's a vortex, you ask?

Just about every year as long as I can remember, my wife and I have vacationed at Cape Cod, Massachusetts. We love sea food, the ocean, whale watching, but we're not all that crazy about sharks! For the past several summers, sharks have been reported along the shallow waters of Chatham, Cape Cod, a place where we have been.

Every summer, I head out to Syracuse for "The Great New York State Fair" and enjoy live entertainment and all that the fair has to offer (yeah, a blooming onion and curly fires too). If you're into monster trucks and demolition derby, check out these events at the Fair.

Join us tonight from 6:00 p.m. - 8:00 p.m. for our 96.1 WODZ "Summer Cruise-In" at Clinton Auto, on Route 12-B in Clinton There will be plenty of delicious food from Double D Saloon of Madison, New York.

If you like live stage performances, check out the presentation of the musical comedy "Monty Python's Spamalot", beginning Thursday night at the Capitol Theatre in Rome.

As you know, 96.1 WODZ is the "Summer Cruise-In" leader in central New York. And if you've never  been to one, watch this latest episode of "Greg On The Go" videos and see what it's all about.

Summer vacation is in full force for the kiddos.  Are they bored yet?  Take a look at some fun things to do all within an hour or less from where you live. 1.        The Adirondack Scenic Railroad, Main Street Utica – What a great way to check out the beautiful scenery that is the Adirondacks...

I wasn't at Watkins Glen for "Summer Jam" on this day in 1973, but some 600,000 fans were there making it a bigger crowd than the original "Woodstock".

With a name like Greg McShea, you know I'm a wee bit Irish, but those that are and those that aren't will enjoy "The Great American Irish Festival" this weekend. Here's what it's all about.
