summer fun

I go back a bit in central New York radio and remember broadcasting the first Boilermaker Road Race in 1978. Things were quite modest then, with a little over 800 runners entered, and a few media people covering it live.

Remember that old Rolaids TV commercial when the announcer asked, "How do you spell relief?" Well, I think the answer this time of year may be v-a-c-a-t-i-o-n, especially when you have a relaxing place with beautiful scenery. That's just what we found last week in Sedona, Arizona.

Ready for the 4th of July? I know, summer just arrived and we're already talking about July and our nation's birthday. Time goes quickly when the nice weather finally gets here. Whether you're going to celebrate with a BBQ, picnic, or simply want to hang up some festive 4th of July decorations, check out these fun 4th of July finds I came across at the dollar store.

Looking for places to watch fireworks around Central New York for the Independence Day holiday?

It seems like every day is a special occasion, and today is Sunglasses Day! So, put on your shades as you head to the beach, and check out these fun sunglasses stats.

One sure sign of summer in central New York is the arrival of the Munson-Williams- Proctor Arts Institute's Arts Festival, and it's going on now. There are many interesting paintings and photographs in the freee sidewalk art show.

It seems like I just took the snow tires off my car, and already Memorial Day Weekend is just days away! When it arrives this coming weekend, it's the "Unofficial Start Of Summer". And with that, the New York State Parks will open. Here are the details.

We're well into barbecue and grilling season, and once again our recipes researchers have found a helpful video for grilling up pork chops. Pork chops are tricky on the grill - you want to make sure that they're done without drying out (something I've never been able to do). So, here's the way to perfect pork chops on the grill.

Nobody likes to hear those words you hear this time of year.  "Oh, school starting soon...Summer almost over".  Shhhhhh, put a sock in it.

Ok, gas prices have been going down, then they go up again, and back down.  Up or down, the bottom line is, it's still too high.  at too high to take the vacation you want, loading up the kids in the family truckster and heading to Wally World.  Oh wait, that's the Griswolds back in the late 70's after the gas crisis of '76.  Just a few ideas of some things you can do right here in Central New Yor
