The rain and cold temperatures didn't keep the crowds from attending Utica's 2014 St Patrick's Day parade. Hundreds lined the streets to celebrate. See this photos from our sister station, Big Frog 104.

At times, I put on the chef's hat and apron at home and cook a little something. This week, I was challenged by my family to try to make my dear old dad's potato soup. My father passed away several years ago, but I think I remember how he made it. Check this out.
