Community ClicksTickets are available for “The Big Broadcast,” a dinner and dance fundraiser for KSQM, Sequim’s community radio station at 91.5 FM.
The event, which will include entertainment, silent and live auctions and cars from the 1940s, will be at SunLand Country Club, 109 Hilltop Road, on Saturday, Oct. 8.
The radio station will use proceeds from the event to construct a new radio tower to improve the station’s signal and broadcast over a larger area.
Under the direction of veteran radio host and KSQM broadcaster Kent Welborn, the event will feature an ensemble of variety acts, skits and music.
In addition, attendees will have the opportunity to vote on their favorite model radio tower.
The towers have been created as centerpieces by local youth volunteers.
Doors open at 4:30 p.m. for appetizers from Mystery Bay Seafood, a silent auction, a raffle and a no-host bar.
Dinner will begin at 5:15 p.m. with wine served and Jeremiah’s BBQ providing prime rib, salmon or a vegetarian entree, with rolls provided by The Garden Bistro and Bakery.
The silent auction closes and “The Big Broadcast Show” starts at 6:15 p.m., followed by presentations, a live auction and dancing.
