Great Weekend! - 6/15/2010 4:00PM
 How was yours? Mine was AWESOME! I love summer! It was go-go-go all weekend long but the tired feeling I was dealing with Monday morning was worth it! Friday night Sara and I were at Winstock Country Music Festival in Winsted. We saw so many great artists, check out the pictures below. I also went to a Twins game, which was ok. THEY LOST! Oh well, can't win them all, but Target Field was really cool. Oh and if you make your way to Target field make sure you get a bite to eat at Smalley's just a few blocks down, the food was amazing. Check out my pictures from the whole weekend below.

It's almost here! Memorial Day weekend, an extra day off the enjoy this beautiful summer weather. I can see it now, warm temperatures, a nice cool breeze, do a little swimming or even fishing. But the one thing I look forward to in the summer has to be grilling. Food just tastes better off the grill and depending on what you're making it also can depend on the kind of BBQ sause you use. Some of us arent' lucky enough to have that top secret family recipe so we make due with a bottle off the shelf at your local grocery store. But which one do you pick? Well a group of lets say "Professionals" did the research for us and picked the two best store bought BBQ sauces available. Which one is "THE BEST" check it out for yourself.

These guys seem like some of the funniest artists in country music today. It shows with some of the videos they've done like "Toes" and the song "Sic Em on a chicken". But now you can see how they guys really are with the new "Pass the Jar" DVD/CD release. You can listen to the whole album and see the trailer for the new release just Click here!

I was born, raised and lived in Hutchinson Minnesota until I was 19, then I moved to Eagan MN to go to school for radio broadcasting.  After graduating in 2004 I moved to a little town in the middle of Wisconsin named Mauston (about 20 minutes north of Wisconsin Dells) for my first job in radio. After 2 years of that I moved to Willmar in October of 2006 and been having fun since, this really is my dream job. In the words of Bill Engvall "I'm glad this worked out, because i'm not qualified to do anything else."
