Chrissy

I was born and raised in Mechanicville, NY, and have been in radio for over 25 years. I have lived and worked on Long Island in the Hamptons, in West Palm Beach, FL, Buffalo, NY, and Portland, ME. Brian and I have been together for 16 years and we love waking up the Capital Region each and every morning. I just moved back to my hometown where my 11-year-old son Ryan is attending my Alma mater. I married my best friend, Jenn, in August of 2022 and had the most perfect day. The theme of our wedding was based on the Disney movie, "Up". We even have a dog named Freddie after Mr. Fredrickson from the movie. We now have two dogs. The newest member of our family is Willie. He looks like a real-live white teddy bear. I am a true crime junky and will watch every Law & Order SVU episode over and over again. (My Dad worked on the show for several years and my name appears on the locker in the squad room in early episodes). I have a very close relationship with my amazing mom, Nancy who is on the show with us messing up song lyrics each week. I will fight anyone, anytime, if you say that someone else or a restaurant makes better eggplant than my mom. Thanks for allowing our personal lives into your world each morning. We hope to give you laughter and fun to start your day.

Finding Dead Frogs in Our Pool-Here’s Some Tricks To Save Them

So far we have only had our pool open for a week and there have been four frogs found. Half of them had drowned.

Corn-diggity Dog! Local NY Festivals & County Fairs a Go

Good news fairgoers! It looks like we will be able to experience all of the county fairs and local festivals this summer. Although last year fairs got creative with drive-up fair food festivals, it's nice to know that we can actually go into the fairs and enjoy what they have to offer, from the deep-fried foods to the rides, and games on the midway.

Saratoga Mansion For $3 Mil With Eclectic Walls & Ceilings

This mansion for sale in Saratoga Springs is beautiful on the outside but it depends on the buyer's taste because of what's on the walls and ceilings inside. It sits on eight acres and has a gorgeous yard complete with a fire pit and an outdoor kitchen and pool. I just think if someone were to pay a cool three million dollars they would have to also repaint not just the walls but the ceiling too. Check it out.
