St. Patty’s Day Success!

Fitzgerald’s Bicycles held it’s 7th Annual St. Patrick’s Day Sale. With spring in the air locals took full advantage of the hourly discounts drumming up sales and supporting KHOL in the process. The shop donated 10% of the day’s proceeds to the station.

After the sale, we took the Wheel of Fortune to the Snake River Brewery for their annual St. Patty’s Day fest where the crowd spun the wheel and took a chance to support community radio in Jackson Hole and win lots of great prizes.

Thanks to all our listeners & supporters who paid to spin the wheel and to all of the companies that contributed prizes:

• Serfas
• Orbea
• Sugoi
• Jamis / Rudy Project
• Norco / Bell / Easton / Giro
• Jack Daniels
• Tipitina’s Foundation

Overall we raised nearly $1500 for KHOL!

We here at KHOL would like to thank everyone at Fitzgerald’s Bicycles that worked so hard      (in March!), especially Scott and Tim. Tim held the Wheel of Fortune high for nearly 4 straight hours! (all those years wrenching have built a solid set of guns on him)

And thanks to the Brew Pub (Snake River Brewing) for letting us join their annual party.

OK, It’s March and I’m just getting to this. Life so gets in the way of what is TRULY meaningful. Not all of these picks are Blues, mind you. I am a fan of Alt Country and Americana and some of the picks do fall into that category. Also, we are still trying to get more Blues Based labels to send us their material, so I did not get to hear allot of new stuff because of that.  Here Goes in no particular order:
