Frosty The Snowman (Christmas Special)

 Keeping the Christmas theme going here on my blog this month, I thought I write about another fun Christmas special, and that is Frosty the Snowman.

Believe it or not, Frosty was actually first created via song which was written by Walter E. Rollins and Steve Nelson and it was written back in 1950 and was first sung by Gene Autry who sang a lot of Christmas songs back in the day.

The duo of Rankin and Bass were at it again creating this masterpiece. And were giving some help from long time writer Romeo Muller. The special featured the voice talents of Jimmy Durante as the narrator, this would be his final performance, and I must say, did a fantastic job.

Also starring were Billy De Wolfe as Professor Hinkle and Jackie Vernon as the main man himself, or should I say main snowman lol Frosty.

The story follows a group of kids playing outside and build a snowman which they named Frosty. Suddenly, a top hat flies over from the wind and lands on Frosty's head and the next thing you know, the snowman becomes alive.

Really the hat has magic, Professor Hinkle quickly takes this opportunity to get the hat back and use it to get rich. Luckily, his rabbit Hocus Pocus hops his way back to the kids and they bring Frosty back to life. However, they soon realize that Frosty must reach the North Pole before he starts to melt and so the adventure begins.

This was such a fun little Christmas special, I really love the song that this special was based off, it is definitely a common song I enjoy listening to this time of year.

Seeing it the other day on TV really brought a smile on my face and I truly believe that a lot of today's kids need to see this special because it truly is a masterpiece and I really wish the world could be more like that.

Until Next Time!

God Bless and Be Safe Everybody! 🙏🙏🙏

The Wacky Adventures Of Joshua and Chad: McVeytown Eagles Championship Parade!

Image
Well tonight was a pretty special night down here in McVeytown as Chad and I along with many other people who live here in McVeytown all came together to celebrate a special accomplishment. And that was how all three of the McVeytown Eagles teams made it to the CKYFL championship games. Winning in both the Peewee and Midget divisions and placing second in the Mighty Mights. Stuff like this doesn't happen often in such a small town where I live so to see these kids have the time of their lives during the parade was certainly a sight to see. One of the things I love about covering sports is when I see kids learn, work hard and turn it into success. And these kids were learning a lot throughout the season and watching them grow and not only become better football players, but better people as well.  Which is why I have really enjoyed covering the CKYFL these last few years for Hometown Sports. People like Travis McCullough who is the President of the league along with Adam Weaver, Rob...

What's going on? Being honest with ourselves!

 I don't like to cause any problems with anybody but there have been a lot of things that I been wanting to get off my chest for a very long time now. And that is in my humble opinion people don't seem to want to be honest about really anything anymore. Now, I could be just a little paranoid, maybe my anxiety is getting the best of me or whatever. But as time has past I have been getting a weird feeling all over me. You see, I just feel as though people no one is really being honest with each other, themselves or to God anymore. I wish I could describe it better but it has been a concern of mine for quite a long time now and I feel like it is getting worse. People would always say things to me like, Josh it is just a different time. But honestly, I think that is just a lame excuse. And the reason I say that is because a lot of those same people who say that kind of stuff to me are the exact same people who then say that they don't understand how things around us are getting...

Nick is a local mechanic who has been serving this community for many, many years and has always been a generous, hard worker and honorable person at the Dickson's Garage along with his father Ken. He and his father are also local racing legends around here in Mifflin County having raced for a couple generations now. Nick and his family have always been honest with me and my family and has helped take care of our vehicles for many years. They are amazing,  hardworking people who now need our help. And according to the go fund me page that was set up by Andrea Baker and Valeri Thornburgh. The doctors had told his family that it will take months at minimum for him to be able to recover and will not be able to work for the foreseeable future. Please support anyway you can for the Dickson family in their time of need. ...
