Garage Sale benefitting KBFG – June 3
Who loves garage sales? EVERYONE does, right?? Radio station KBFG is partnering with Phinney Neighborhood Association to host a garage sale during the PNA Garage Sale Day 2017 Event on Saturday, June 3rd. Here are more details: http://phinneycenter.org/garagesale.
KBFG could REALLY use some local support from the community though. Do you have any items
you would be willing to donate for sale on that day? All items are accepted, no matter how big or small. Please send an email to info@fulcrumcc.org or call Pam at 206-402-6926 if you would like to get involved.
Funds raised from this event will help to pay for the permits that are needed to broadcast on the air, advertising, and purchase new equipment. KBFG just opened their new temporary studio and will have brand new episodes to air (streaming only) soon. It’s looking like they will be broadcasting on FM by the middle of the year! They are just waiting for all of the permits to fall into place.
Sale Address = 5308 Baker Avenue NW.
Lines may go around the block several times and overflow onto Phinney Ave. Fremont and Phinney Ridge traffic may be adversely affected. Be advised.
