January 10, 2013 I remember shooting pool as a kid growing up in Utica, New York, and 9-ball was one of the games we played. If you're into pool, Turning Stone Resort and Casino is the setting for a 9-Ball tournament now through the weekend.
January 7, 2013 If you love college football, tonight's the night to determine the national BCS championship. It's quite a match-up in Miami, as the undefeated Fighting Irish of Notre Dame (12-0) take on University Of Alabama Crimson Tide (11-1) in the Discover BCS National Championship Game tonight at 8:00 p.m. on ESPN.
January 4, 2013 At Big Frog 104, we like to share with you local events, and if you love the Adirondacks, you may be interested in a new exhibit debuting at the Old Forge Library beginning tonight.
January 3, 2013 One thing is certain about our Big Frog 104 listeners and people in central New York, you're very generous. This past December, I had the pleasure of broadcasting live at the Stewart's Shops in Little Falls, to raise awareness of their annual Holiday Match Campaign supporting local children's charities, and once again it was quite successful.
January 2, 2013 With the new year, some new superstitions may arise...specifically the number 13. This is the first time in a century that we've had a year ending in 13. The last time this happened of course was in 1913. Add to that, we have two Friday the 13ths this year - one in September and the second in December, so we have plenty of time to worry about that.
January 1, 2013 How many times are we going to write 2012 on checks when paying the Christmas bills in 2013? With the new year and new month, some things to consider in January.
December 31, 2012 Ringing in the new year won't be the same tonight without Dick Clark, the creator of "Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve" which first aired in the 1970s. Every New Year's Eve, the TV in the Greg "Splashin'" McShea household was tuned to that show, and Dick Clark never let us down. Even after his stroke a few years back, he courageously continued with help from Ryan Seacrest. Tonight, ABC pays tribute to Dick Clark at 8:00 p.m. with "New Year's Rockin' Eve Celebrates Dick Clark".
December 31, 2012 OK, many of us will make New Year's resolutions, predictions, and maybe make a little merry tonight on New Year's Eve. For what it's worth, I have a few Greg "Splashin'" McShea thoughts on the old and new year.
December 31, 2012 You're invited to stop by today during Big Frog 104's live broadcast at Turning Stone Resort & Casino in Verona from 2:00 p.m. - 4:00 p.m. Yours truly, Greg "Splashin'" McShea will be on the air and sharing with you all of the exciting events and promotions going on at Turning Stone later tonight and into the new year.
December 28, 2012 What are your New Year's Eve plans? Stay home or go out? If your looking to ring in 2013 with some great CNY country bands here's where to head.
December 26, 2012 The holiday season is filled with celebrations, observances and traditions. Today marks the beginning of Kwanzaa, which continues through January 1, 2013. Kwanzaa is a celebration of family, community and culture.
Bet you didn't realize that other things drop besides the ball depending on where you live in the country and some objects are even raised! Here's a comprehensive (big word for looooong) list of some of the most interesting and usually bizarre objects by state that are annual New Year's Eve icons for the locals there, and most are anything BUT a ball!
