SIUSLAW NEWS ❚ WEDNESDAY, APRIL 18, 2018 KXCR invites community to 4th anniversary celebration On Saturday, April 21, KXCR invites the community to a “Get Together” for its fourth anniversary. Area listeners are invited to drop by KXCR Community Radio, 1509 Ninth St. in Florence, from 2 to 8 p.m. “Get Together” to celebrate Florence’s only nonprofit radio station as it continues to shine its little light into the new world of corporate media. As a way of (re)introducing itself, KXCR 90.7FM has dedicated April 21 to invite fans to meet and greet the sta- tion’s volunteers, munch some homemade cookies, voice a station promo and find a CD or vintage vinyl to take home. But before the afternoon is done, people might find an opportunity to sit in with one of our DJs, get a program schedule for the week and ask about getting a thumb drive recording of a favorite show. While they’re at it, they will find some time to grab a bite of dinner. People are also invited to cast a vote for their choice of T-shirt designs, receive a gift certificate for tea and cookies for two at Le Bouchon on Bay Street and, as a special treat, stick around to hear and sing along with KXCR’s house band “The Relics” lighting up the back room until the magic hour. KXCR’s board, program- mers and volunteers hope to see you for this fun event. For more informaiton, visit kxcr.net, stop by the station or call 541-997-5252.
