On Saturday night, December 14th, from 7-11pm, WPKN Radio, 89.5 FM and www.wpkn.org, will
celebrate the radio station’s 50th anniversary of continuous
broadcasting as the “Real Alternative”. Reprising last year’s highly successful
party at
Dragone Classic Motorcars, 176

in Westport, CT, the event is called
“Road & Tracks II”.



 



Surrounded by collectible vintage and performance automobiles in the unique
environment of the Dragone showroom and garage, the Gala will have live
entertainment by the Edukated Fleas Ukulele Duo, Gypsy Swing by Larry Urbon’s
Café Musette, and classic jazz with Rick Petrone’s Jazz All-Stars, featuring

Etta James, and Maynard Fergusson. A silent auction will feature vacations to
Telluride and Cabo St. Lucas, original artwork from R. Crumb, dinner and
theater tickets, a private party catered by Taco Loco, and many other
interesting items.
