Wheelock Farm – Thank a Farmer
We recognize William Wheelock and the Wheelock Family farm in Litchfield as we continue to 'Thank a Farmer' with James Wesley & Whites Farm Supply
Yogi Berra reportedly once said this about a restaurant, "That place is so crowded, nobody goes there anymore". Apparently, that's what's happening these days with cheap beer. The more "hip" it becomes to buy cheap beer, the more taverns are charging for it.
During the baseball season, we've featured videos of how the different Major League Baseball teams deal with the "7th inning stretch" - when fans can stand up, stretch and get back into the game. One of the all-time classic versions of the stretch took place in Comiskey Park, when Chicago White Sox radio/TV announcer Harry Caray * would lead the crowd in "Take Me Out To The Ballgame".
A number of country stars are from Oklahoma, where the devastating tornado killed over 50 people. Toby Keith''s sister lost their home, but all are safe. Ronnie Dunn almost got caught in the path, while others sent their thoughts and prayers to their home state.
This guy really gets around. And around, and around and around. Clinton Shepherd, a manager at the Navy Yard of Chicago, has set a new world record for continuous Ferris Wheel riding having gone round and round, up and down for 48 hours, 8 hours and 25 minutes breaking the old record by over 13 hours. Shepherd--who was given a 5 minute break per hour--stayed awake the entire time. How did he do it?
The devastating tornadoes that ripped through Oklahoma have left 24 people dead. The pictures of the destruction are heart wrenching. Over 100 people were discovered alive overnight. One woman was explaining her ordeal to a TV reporter, talking about her lost dog, when the reporter saw the pet among the rubble. What a happy reunion. Grab the Kleenex. I wish more stories would end up like this.
Carrie Underwood played a great joke on Hunter Hayes in Edmonton on their last tour stop together. Hunter was up on stage singing, and Carrie inserted goat screams into the video he was playing on the screens above him.
DARIUS RUCKER'S hit 'Wagon Wheel' is a cover of a song by the bluegrass group OLD MEDICINE CROW. No big deal, Darius has been giving them props. But some racist coward on Twitter didn't think Darius had the right to record the song at all.
Kellie Pickler brought one judge to tears and another to their feet with one of the best freestyle dances I've ever seen on a 'Dancing with the Stars' finale. Even though she and partner Derek Hough were given the option to super-size their dance, with extra dancers or special effects, they chose to strip it down and just dance. And that they did!
