I have to share this. My family and I went to the Royal Gorge this afternoon. And it was my sons first time at a petting zoo...and boy did he have a good time. He loved the goats....just like his daddy!

Behold!

Behold some quiet time in the JRod house. Shhhhh don't wake him.

I just went mobile...does thing work?

THE CHALLENGE IS ON!

This afternoon while walking into work. I saw a poster promoting Springsspree and this year we are having human hamster balls. Now as I wander throughout the building it struck me! I NEED TO DO THIS!!!!! So, with that being said....

I am now officially challenging our afternoon guy Jim West to a human hampster ball race on Saturday June 20th at noon at Springsspree.

The First Annual "Cat Country Fur Ball Challenge" has been set!

Will he actually accept my challenge? That is yet to be seen since he knows nothing of this at all. But now the campaign starts to get him into a hampster ball for a race through Memorial Park. if he doesn't do it then he is not the valid member of the Cat Nation that he says he is!

So here is where you come in.......call him at 528-8228 during the hours of 3p-6p M-F, email him at jim.west@citcomm.com, and post comments about this on his blog at catcountry951.com.

Help me convince him to accept the challenge that I have put forth!

RED Light....Green Light!

David Nail is one of the acts that we have comign in for Springsspree next month. His new single is called "Red Light" and if you click on the picture below you can play the "red light/green light" game. it's not hard just addictive!

Post your score and let's see who gets the highest! Good Luck!

JIM WEST ARRESTED?

This weekend at Territory Days our afternoon host Jim West finally was arrested for along standing warrant of "killing in the ratings".

He was apprehended at the Cat Country tent about 12:45p by two heavily armed officers who showed no mercy getting him into custody. Listeners, fans, and Cat staff stood in awe and wished for the use of excessive force.
Then we all found out that it was for charity and Bryan, Rene and I stood speechless and hung our heads in disapointment.

It's HEEERRRRREEE!

It's finally OVER!

It's that time again, for everyone to settle in and sit on the couch for the American Idol season finale. Now in the past I have sat through the entire thing in it's entirity but this year I am refusing to do that.

This year I want you to not give in to temptation and find out the winner earlier than everyone else.

TONIGHT on Cat Country between 7:45 - 8:15 I will announce the winner of American Idol before it is broadcast on TV.

Why watch the what seems like a 18 hour finale when you listen to the radio for 30 minutes and get the same information?

Makes sense doesn't it?

You comin?

Getting WILD?

This last weekend kicked off with a bang with the "Wild Wild West Fest" on the streets of the Union Avenue historic district in Pueblo. Now when I drove up to it on Friday night I really didn't expect much out of it...and to my suprise it went on for blocks and then completely took over the riverwalk as a whole. It was awesome..theys eems to have everything you could think of down there from 3 live entertainment stages, 2 days of championship bullriding, countless places to get your grub on, bullriders walking the streets, the ring of honor ceremonies, and the very cool PBR fan zone.

They have already announced dates for next year and I can honestly tell you that I can't wait. I had a blast!

It was also my very first time that I have actually gone to a bullriding event...I know it seems hard to believe right. I kinda knew what to expect but I was very impressed by the whole excitement element of the whole thing. It was more rock n roll arena show than the hum drum rodeo feel that I guess I expected. I had a great time and then went back for more on the second night...and I don't think I will be missing one. I'M HOOKED NOW!

Random?

I was reading through the news and thought this was completely random and yet just odd to say the least. The only thing that comes to mind is WHY?

Happy Reading!

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (News) -

Whoever ransacked the Colorado Springs home of Suzanna Clarke not only took necklaces and a shotgun but something she and her husband valued much more.

Clarke says her husband's cross necklace and her own angel necklace were stolen Wednesday. She says the necklaces hold the ashes of their 45-year-old daughter, Debra Edwards, who was killed when a man driving a stolen car ran a red light and crashed into her vehicle four years ago.
Police Sgt. Dave Gilman says the thief probably entered the home through an unlocked back door. He says so far no one has been arrested. Police told Clarke they would monitor sales to pawn shops.

OH BOY!

Last night at Cowboys, I got my "CHURCH " on.

After several weeks of expectation of a great show it was not let down at all. It was alot better than I thought it would be. The crowd was huge and seemed to know even the obscure album cuts off of his new CD 'Carolina" so I didn't seem like the only freakish fan that knew everything that he has put out.

Check out the video below to get a taste of something you got to see or missed...

Get YUR Church On!

If you haven't already make sure you get your tickets for the Eric Church show this Saturday night at Cowboys Downtown. You may have seen him a few months back at the Pro Rodeo Hall of Fame playing acoustic. This time around he is bringing in a full band and is going to ready to rock.

He puts on a great show and you will not be dissapointed! And if follow my blog at all you know that I am a pretty big fan. His new CD is outstanding and if you don't have it ...please go buy it!

See ya at the show!
