July 31st 2014 was the first time we had the pleasure of having Ingrid Michaelson for a Star 99.9 performance. This Acoustic Session was at the Orange Ale House and Ingrid had played the Central Park Summer Stage the night before.
I’ve never been skydiving before but I imagine it’s pretty stressful and scary even without LOSING something while you’re in the air.
This is what happened to a skydiver in Vermont who recently lost his prosthetic leg when it fell off in mid-air. Can you imagine?! He says he didn’t even realize it was gone at first, and wasn’t sure he’d ever find it.
With the power of the internet he decided to post about it on Facebook and asked people in the area to keep an eye out. Sure enough… a random farmer found it on his property! How crazy is that? Amazing.

On July 30th 2015 we brought the Plain White T’s to play a pool party at one lucky winners house in Fairfield. There was a rain shower that we thought could put a damper on things but it passed and we had a great time.
On July 30th 2018 we did a Star 99.9 Acoustic Session with Leon Bridges at Little Pub in Fairfield.
A lot of people have realized during this pandemic that there are only so many things you can do to entertain yourself before you get REALLY bored staying home.
That’s exactly what happened with these kids. Two college hockey players at University of Massachusetts who decided to cure their boredom in a creative, helpful way. They went out and bought some rollerblades and skated almost 900 miles from Massachusetts to Michigan. All while raising money for the American Cancer Society. They ended up raised over $25,000 dollars!
I know their hockey players and everything, but their legs must have been beat by the end of that trip.
