Gifts For Members
The greatest gift for supporting WKMS is continued service of the quality programming you enjoy. But prizes and gifts are fun, too. Here's a page that compiles our current list of giveaways and thank-you gifts. Thank you for your support of any amount!
Special Spring Giveaways:
iPad Mini
All who participate early, by March 5, will be eligible for the drawing. The iPad mini is like the iPad's younger, cooler cousin. It has a display size of 7.9" and 1024x768 pixels - great for reading, watching movies, or honing your digital piano skills. We'll announce the winner on March 6, the first day of our on-air fundraiser.
Big Green Egg Grand Prize
Back by popular request! All who participate during the Spring Fundraiser will be eligible for the drawing of the Big Green Egg. The 'Egg' is a kamado-style ceramic charcoal cooker and has quite an enthusiastic following of 'Eggheads' who love using it. We'll announce the winner after our spring goal has been met. Thanks go to our friends Akridge Farm Supply/Ace Hardware in Eddyville and Fredonia for the egg!
New Member Gift:
WKMS News presents an hour-long documentary titled "West Kentucky High Iron: The Story of Four Rivers Rail." The special takes listeners around the Four Rivers Region exploring the rail industry’s history and how this method of transportation has touched people’s lives. This special presentation originally aired on March 3, at 9 a.m. and is available in a special CD package as a gift for new members.
Segments include laying the tracks for the Cadiz Railroad, the historic rail boomtown of Earlington, remembering a murder in the Paducah rail yard, Kentucky's orphan train, hobos in the backyard, a gathering of model railroad enthusiasts, an inside look at VMV Paducahbilt, and an innovative use for old tracks. Also, WKMS Producer Todd Hatton and rail historian Cliff Downey reflect on trains in western Kentucky while riding the historic "City of New Orleans" line from Carbondale to Fulton.
