It’s Tuesday morning and what a beautiful Tuesday morning it is! We’ve been given another day of this sunshine and from the looks of it, I think we’re going to hang on to this sunshine throughout the week! A nice, mild sun-filled week in Munising…. aahhhhhhhh. (yep, there I was daydreaming about our beaches in the summer time!) :)

James and I are going to be hitting the bricks this week and cruising town attempting to meet as many of our fans and listeners as possible. So if you see us out and about, stop and say hello! Grab a bumper sticker! Let us know what YOU’D like to hear more of on the radio. It’ll be nice to get some feedback from our listeners and new ideas!

We’ve got alot of new things that’ll be happening here at the station in the next few weeks so be sure to keep listening, checking our website- www.wqxo.com and also check us out on facebook! We’ll be seeing you soon!

Wow, now this was an exciting weekend for WQXO and if you happened to be listening this weekend, you’d know why! James and I were out ALL weekend covering the Munising 300 and the Trenary outhouse Races. It was so fun!

At the Munising 300, I had no idea how fast these sleds can actually go. Not only that but to see the trucks and SEMI’S that were bringing these racers to Munising were absolutely amazing! This was a very important race to these racers and they had their game faces on! I took my son to this and we found an amazing spot down M-28 by Indian Town Road where the racers were full throttle by the time the reached us. just FLYING by and the jumps– my goodness! They were jumping like 5 feet in the air! The exhilaration and excitement filled the air out there in Wetmore at the Cherrywood Lodge.

As for the Trenary Outhouse Race- now that was quite a turn out! There were THOUSANDS of people roaming around the little town of Trenary! Some of the ‘outhouses’ they were racing were so unbelievably original, it made you wonder how they came up with the ideas for them! It was quite windy and pretty cold out there but it was so worth it if you made the trip out!

Be sure to check out WQXO.com for our pics and upcoming posts from this weekend and you’ll see all the fun that James and I had at these events! Now that it’s Monday, we’re finally able to take a little breather! Have a great week everyone! :)
