I was able to make it out on Saturday evening. I was really looking forward to seeing Thomas Rhett. As you can see, I was able to meet Riley Green before his set...which was awesome!

I had such a great time hanging out with coworkers, seeing all of the dedicated country music fans, and listening to some really great music! Thomas Rhett did not disappoint!

Kinda bummed I wasn't able to be there for Lainey Wilson, Priscilla Block, Nate Smith and others...but you can't win 'em all. Til next year!!!

Thankfully Country Fest is this weekend and not next! Next week, they are expecting our afternoon highs anywhere 90-100 degrees! As we all know, getting into your car in the hot weather is no fun. Everything becomes scorching hot and it's hard to touch most anything. Let's not even mention if you accidentally touch that metal seat belt buckle!!!!

There are several tricks you can try to help keep your car cooler and to help cool it down faster once you get in.

Check out the article with the tips from Fox 8 here.

Set your recording device to catch Carly Pearce as a guest today on The Kelly Clarkson show. She is going to chat with Kelly and then perform! It should be an awesome time!

The Kelly Clarkson Show airs later this morning at 11 on Channel 3...be there!

My little guy Buttercup is back home after an eventful couple of weeks. This all started a couple months ago when I noticed changes in his behavior. I took him to the doctor and he was diagnosed as being Diabetic. Fast forward to last week, and I was finally able to start him on a medicine that he did not react well to.

So a couple of trips to the doctor later, on Friday night this past weekend I saw he was really doing bad. I took him into the hospital this past Saturday where he ended up staying 4 days until being released to come home this afternoon. He was getting into Ketoacidosis which is fatal if not treated quickly. I have already lost one cat to that, so I was desperate not to have it happen again.

Luckily, I got him to the hospital in time. He's now home, on some medicines and looking to schedule a follow-up appointment with his primary care doctor. 

I do have to say a BIG THANK YOU to MedVet Hospital in Copley - they did an EXCELLENT job with him as well as keeping me informed twice a day! Always watch those fur kids carefully...they aren't able to tell you exactly what is wrong.

I don't know about you, but I think Mother Nature is off her rocker today! We are struggling to hit 60 degrees outside today. I checked...our normal high for this date is about 77 - so we are roughly 20 degrees BELOW average today!!! Today's weather is more normal for mid April or Early November!

I have no idea why she (Mother Nature) is playing this game with us. Today it's about 60. By Thursday many of us may hit 90 again. SMH! Can't we just pick one and leave it already?!

WQMX wants to say a HUGE congratulations to our Nashville or Bus winner...Amber Griffith of Canton!

Over the past 25 years for the Cleveland Browns, one thing has been pretty consistent - change. Today though, it was announced that in one way change will NOT be taking place this offseason.

Both Browns GM Andrew Berry and head coach Kevin Stefanski have signed contract extensions with the team. There is no word yet on the exact details of either extension. Since the two men have been at the helm of the team, the Browns made their 1st playoff appearance since 2002 and have a record of 37-30...the best 4 year record for the franchise since the late 80s.

For Browns fans, let's hope these winning ways continue to get even better!
