It was a moment that made thousands of people cry and quickly became one of the most talked about moments of the Toyota Country Lights Festival last week. The moment when Matt and Amber of Owego got engaged.

It's Good News Monday. We have good news...Wait, make that great new! The TOC Music Festival featuring Tim McGraw was a huge success but that's not the good news. Did you hear whose coming to next year's Taste of Country Music Festival?

The Taste of Country Music Festival is happening this weekend at Hunter Mountain! Who is your favorite performer? If you said Tim McGraw, you could be in for a special treat. By special treat I mean you may get to hear something that no one else has yet.

Have you heard? You can be literally tailgating in our Toyota Tundra while watching the Toyota Country Lights Festival! All you have to do is something that we do all the time anyway. Check it out here. Frankie Ballard is headlining the show but did you hear where else he's at. He's at the movies, at least his music is. He's getting his first cinematic moment in the new movie Hot Pursuit. Read Mor
