WOW - we're still reeling from Sunday's Record Fair + Second Chance Art Sale at Radio Social (and our PERFECT spot in front of #thatradiowall ). A huge thanks to Needle Drop Records and Flour Pail Kids for putting the event together, as well as Croix, Chores , and Aweful Kanawful for providing live tunes out back. There was so much amazing #ROC creativity everywhere you looked!
WAYO is proud to present the Summer Edition of the Rochester Record Fair and Second Chance Art Sale, brought to you by Flour Pail Kids and NeedleDrop Records. The fair will take place on Sunday, August 13th, at Radio Social (20 Carlson Rd) in Rochester, and will run from 11am to 4pm.
Update 12/24: The advisory has been lifted and the tap water is now safe to consume!
We were looking for local #ROC artists to design this year's fundraiser T-shirt and bumper sticker. The submission window has passed, but stay tuned to find out the winners!
WOW -- we can't believe how much fun we had at the WAYO Benefit Record Fair at Lux Lounge this past Sunday. Thanks to everyone who came out to support us and buy records, and an even BIGGER thanks to Russ from Needle Drop Recordsfor organizing the fair, getting raffle prizes, coordinating vendors... we can't thank you enough. The fair helped raise over $1500 for WAYO -- that's enough to run WAYO for a whole month and then some!
WAYO is excited to announce a special summer record fair hosted by Lux Lounge and Needle Drop Records. Proceeds from door donations, raffle, and more will help benefit your favorite local radio station, WAYO 104.3FM!
The Record Fair will feature local vendors selling vinyl, CDs, tapes, video, and other new and used merchandise. In addition, a bunch of your favorite WAYO DJs will be spinning records throughout the day while you dig for treasures in the stacks.
Monroe County is offering FREE COVID rapid antigen testing 7 days a week, no proof of insurance required, just a valid photo ID! Walk-ins are welcome! Most of the time, you'll be in and out within five minutes, and positive test results receive a phone call within an hour. Visit https://www.monroecounty.gov/health-covid-19-testing to find a testing site near you.
TURN UP FOR COMMUNITY RADIO - literally! Help WAYO's voice go farther in our community! The FCC is considering a proposal called "Simple 250" which would allow low-power FM stations like WAYO to apply for a power increase up to 250 watts (from 100 watts).
This could be HUGE for WAYO and other low-power community stations in town (like our friends 100.9 WXIR and Poder971) and across the country!
