HFC hosts 11th Annual Record Show Oct. 27

Event Date:

Sat, 10/27/2018 - 10:00am to 5:00pm

Location:

Student & Culinary Arts Center (Building M)

WHFR-FM (89.3), the student-run radio station of HFC, will host its 11th Annual WHFR Record Show Saturday, Oct. 27, from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. in the Student & Culinary Arts Center (Building M on the main campus).

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. This show will have thousands upon 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.

“We have literally have more vendors this year than ever before,” said Susan McGraw, WHFR-FM General Manager. “The show is a complete sell-out, and we are welcoming some new vendors this year, as well as any returning ones by popular demand. As vinyl records have increased in popularity over the past year, there has never been a better time to check out this premier show – and give yourself plenty of time to do so!”

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 at 10:00 a.m. General admission is between $1-$5 on a sliding scale. For those who want to get in before the general public from 9:00 to 10:00 a.m., there is an early bird admission option of $5. HFC students and employees are admitted free with a valid HFC identification card. All proceeds benefit WHFR-FM.
