Spa City Local Farm Market Co-op:  Spa City Co-op takes to the airwaves

Happy Halloween Everybody,

Just a note to let you know that Spa City Co-op is sponsoring a radio show of live local music on the new solar-powered community FM station, KUHS 97.9 FM. The show is called Loca Locavorians, and is aired at 4 pm on Wednesday afternoons. The show features local talent – music, poetry, and storytelling – in live studio performances.

This is in fulfillment of our community outreach mission. The show brings local entertainment and information to those who don’t go out to bars and other venues, and possibly missing these great performers. We hope you enjoy the show.

Also a reminder – don’t forget to pick up your order today at Emergent Arts. Come before 5 if at all possible so our fabulous volunteers don’t have such a long day.

Be well,
Karen Holcomb
Market Manager and Treasurer
