Annual sale helps fund 88.1 student-run radio station
The show is set for 10 a.m. until 4 p.m. at the Salem High School Cafeteria, and proceeds will benefit the nationally recognized student radio station operated by Plymouth-Canton Community Schools.
Admission to the 88.1 the Park Record Show, during normal show hours, is $5. Collectors looking to get an early start to their shopping can gain early admission between 9 and 10 a.m. for $10.
Students at Canton, Plymouth and Salem High Schools will receive free admission with a student ID.
More than 650 people attended the show last year and the students expect to build on that success. Attendees will enjoy special giveaways and door prizes in addition to a wide variety of vendors. Much of the success of the show can be tied to the resurgence of interest in vinyl records, noted Bill Keith, station manager since 1991.
“We strive to make the record show an experience for music fans of all ages to enjoy. No matter how long you’ve been collecting vinyl, you can support your local radio station while finding the perfect item to add to your collection.” said Jonah Kibin, program director for 88.1 the Park.
All of the proceeds will benefit 88.1 The Park and will help the station continue to serve the community with unique programming and broadcast training for students.
The record show is one of the main fundraisers for the station each year.
Salem High School is located at 46181 Joy Road in Canton Michigan (corner of Joy and Canton Center). The Salem High School Cafeteria is located on the first floor, just inside the main entrance to the school.
88.1 The Park is owned and operated by Plymouth-Canton Community Schools. More information is available at www.881ThePark.com.
