It's hard to believe that almost a year has passed since our last Big Frog 104 Wildwest Frogfest & Painted Pony Rodeo. And although I haven't been a part of as many Frogfests as Matt Herkimer (Who has? He's been at every single one!), I have participated in several.
The Tour de Cure may be months away but today is American Diabetes Alert Day. It's a one-day 'wake-up call' asking everyone to take the Diabetes Risk Test to find out if they are at risk for developing type 2 diabetes.
Big Frog 104's "Wild West Frogfest 2012" is promising to be bigger and better than ever with headliners Josh Thompson and Easton Corbin, great local bands and--to kick it all off-- an expanded "Painted Pony Rodeo", Saturday June 9 at the Herkimer County Fairgrounds. The grandstands were packed for last years rodeo featuring bareback and saddle bronc riding, bull riding, steer wrestling and more. Check out the clips from last years event.
Easton Corbin, who headlines this years Wild West FrogFest & Rodeo, will have some new music for the crowd at the Herkimer County Fairgrounds June 9th. He just wrapped up shooting the video for his new song 'Lovin' You is Fun' in Austin Texas. “When I first heard this song, man, it just really felt good. It’s a fun song – a feel good summertime song you can roll the windows down and turn the radio up,” says Corbin. No word on when the video will be ready but the song is available on for download on iTunes.
There's no time like the present. Since we've had such unusually nice weather in March, I thought I'd get a jump start on training for the Tour de Cure June 3rd. Since I haven't been on a bike in 15+ years I thought I'd go slow to start. I wouldn't want to ruin the bike Dan at Schuss Ski & Bike Shop gave me the first day.
As I was pedaling down our lane and trying to stay on the bike, I remembered my conversation with Big Vinny of Trailer Choir, who told me how to motivate myself.
And I'm off. Well, almost. The ADA Tour de Cure at Verona Beach State Park June 3rd, has officially kicked-off and the goal this year is $250,000, 725 riders and 100 volunteers. It's all an effort to stop diabetes.
Easton Corbin and Josh Thompson will headline this year's Bigger Wild West FrogFest. We’re once again teaming up with the Painted Pony Rodeo, the oldest weekly rodeo in the US and we're expanding the arena this year.

If I'm going to ride 15 miles in the Tour de Cure, I'll need a bike. Thankfully Dan at Schuss Ski & Bike Shop in New Hartford has bikes and knows all about them. He even set me up with special biking shoes and shorts with the padding in all the rights spots, thank goodness. 15 miles is hard on your behind.
The things I get myself into. First it was rappelling over the Adirondack Bank Building for Special Olympics. Now it's bike riding for the American Diabetes Association in the Tour de Cure June 3rd at Verona Beach State Park. Since it's such a great cause, I couldn't say no, but bikes and I just don't get along. The last time I was on a bicycle was when I was 15 and it ended with a concussion and a trip to the emergency room. Hopefully now that I'm older, I'm wiser too, so I'll wear a helmet.
The beginning of a new week means another edition of New Music Monday. James Wesley who will be part of Big Frog's Intimate Acoustic Concert March 14th at the Rome Capitol Theater and Frogfest 2010 star Josh Turner have new tunes out. Check out the songs and vote for your favorite at the bottom. The winner gets spotlighted during the Drive at 5 with Tad Pole.
