WHFR Hosts Annual Record Show

WHFR-FM (89.3), HFC's student-run radio station, will host its 9th Annual WHFR Record Show on Saturday, Oct. 8, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. This annual sales event takes place in the Student & Culinary Arts Center (Building M), located on the main campus.

This show will have THOUSANDS of rare and mainstream records, CDs, DVDs, videos and other forms of music and movie memorabilia for sale by independent, local and out-of-state vendors. There will also be door prizes, giveaways and much, much more.

“The WHFR Record Show has become one of the premier shows of its kind in the Midwest, attracting many of the best vendors from the tri-state area and Canada. Whether music and film is your passion, or you have even a small interest in this kind of media, you will definitely want to check it out... and give yourself plenty of time to do so!” said Susan McGraw, WHFR-FM General Manager.

As a non-commercial, volunteer-staffed station, WHFR-FM is not licensed to sell commercials and must heavily rely on support from HFC and private donations to operate. More than 60 percent of its operating budget comes from donor support.

Since it began as a student radio club with a closet-sized room for public address operation in 1985, WHFR-FM has developed into an award-winning live 24/7 broadcast and Internet outlet. On-air formats include blues, world, classical, avant jazz, indie rock, alternative/modern rock, techno, urban, big band, rockabilly, Americana, local news & views, classic radio drama and much more. All music shows highlight new releases, independent labels and local artists.

This event is open to the public. General admission is $1-$5 on a sliding scale with an early bird admission of $5 from 9-10 a.m. HFC students and employees receive free admission with a valid HFC identification card. All proceeds benefit WHFR-FM.
