Tony Longretta is a former Utica resident who loves taking photos. He's actually really good at it. On a recent trip home, he took some amazing shots of some of the most beautiful landmarks in our fine city. He and a friend, Daniel Mellito, decided to sell the collection of photos in a calendar and give the proceeds to The CNY Veteran's Outreach Center.

If you've been thinking that this year's Thanksgiving Day this Thursday, November 22nd is a bit early, you're right. In fact, it's the earliest November date that the holiday can occur.

It's hard to believe that it's already October. Here I'm thinking about fall foliage colors and the season is at peak in the Adirondacks. At Big Frog 104, we like to keep you up to date on important dates to remember, so let's take a look at October.

We've all said it, week after week. I say it every Friday on the air on Big Frog 104. T.G.I.F., which of course stands for Thank Goodness It's Friday. It just sounds right after a long work-week, doesn't it. But why do we say it?

Now that we are in the "Frog Days of Fall", we realize that 2011 is winding down...only three months left. So, I got thinking, did you ever want to remember what day of the week your birthday was on 20 years ago, or what day did Christmas fall on the year you were born?
