frogfest 27

It's been a little less than a week since FrogFest 27 and I am already looking forward to next year's show. It was such a great success and I hope you all had a great time. One guy who had the time of his life was our very own Jeremiah B. Frog!

The Turning Stone Resort Casino has been lucky enough to have The Beadle Brothers as their house band at the Tin Rooster for quite some time and we were very happy to have them perform during FrogFest 27.

For the second time in 3 years, the very talented Chelsea Cavanaugh returned to FrogFest and did a phenomenal job kicking off the music portion of the day. She sang a variety of covers and played some of her own original music, both of which won over the crowd!

Before Jerrod Niemann took to the FrogFest stage, he took in a game of corn hole with our winners of the tournament held at Swifty's. After a random draw Michael Rex teamed up with Niemann to take on Paul Panick and Douglas Lokker.

Before the entertainment began on the FrogFest stage, cowboys and cowgirls hit the Painted Pony Rodeo for barrel racing, bronc riding, roping and bull riding. Take a look at pictures from the event.

FrogFest 27 was a huge success! We had some great food, great vendors, and of course amazing performances. Our headliner, Jerrod Niemann, rocked the Herkimer County Fairgrounds, but something happened that almost derailed the show. One of Niemann's band members had their back give out to the point where he could't even stand. Luckily, one of our fine vendors was local chiropractor, Dr. Jon Blando!

After interviews, meet and greets and a game of corn hole, Jerrod Niemann finally took the FrogFest stage and it was worth the wait.

Did you happen to notice something flying over FrogFest ? It was a drove in the skies of the Herkimer County Fairgrounds. Thank you to Sean Nelson of Utica for taking time out of his busy schedule to bring his DJI Phantom drone to FrogFest. It gives a whole new perspective on the annual event

Nick Briggs surprised his girlfriend Katie at FrogFest. He brought her on stage for what she thought was just a thank you for being part of the event. Little did she know Nick had other plans, ones he's had in the works for weeks. Nick dropped to one knee to pop the question.

Did we catch you having the time of your life at Wild West FrogFest and Rodeo this weekend?

Tom and Chris Hogan rocked their beer gut with Trailer Choir at FrogFest. The twin brothers, who have down syndrome, were invited on stage to sing along to 'Rockin' the Beer Gut.' They not only sang every word, one even did the worm with Big Vinny and took over Butter's microphone for most of the song.

One of the best seats in the house at Wild West FrogFest and Rodeo is undoubtedly the VIP Dunkin' Deck. Our winners Starr and Rich were very excited to win these seats and spoke with Dave and myself about it.
