Hard to believe that this is the fifth year of creative sleds made out of cardboard either crashing and burning or making it to the finish line triumphantly at Cannonsburg Ski Area in Belmont. Whether you crash and burn, it's time to start grabbing the cardboard and tape and making your cardboard bobsled for the 5th Annual Cardboard Bobsled Derby!

I was never really into sports as a young kid. I enjoyed going outside, sledding on hills, throwing snowballs, etc. Even my immediate family are not really sports people, so I didn't grow up with it. What I did grow up with, was video games, and Nintendo had the BEST sports game on the original NES.

One of my most interesting memories of hockey was when I was at a hockey game a really long time. It was a Grand Rapids Griffins game to be exact, one of my first ones. I love going to the Griffins games, they are always a lot of fun. However, I always wondered if a hockey puck would leave the ice sometime.

If you were listening to the WGRD All Request New Year's Eve Show, you would have heard some of us in our prime! We had a good time and we hope you did, too! While you were making out with someone or celebrating, we were singing that song that your supposed to sing on New Year's. Give us a break, by the way. We're not the best singers.

Think pond hockey is just for the guys? No way. The WGRD Pond Hockey Classic is for everyone! Because of popular demand, we have added a women's and co-ed divisions.

It's a pretty slow day here at the radio station, I have exhausted everything that I can do. Heck, I have even worked way ahead so I can get other things done as they approach! That's called 'smart working!' I started to clean the Promotions office and I found something I would never expect to see. It was a Wig and a Crown.... Well, I couldn't help it!
