KWTF_farmfest_poster

Celebrate community radio at KWTF Farm Fest on Saturday August 11th, 2012 from 2pm-10pm at Laguna Farm 1764 Cooper Rd, Sebastopol CA!

Live Music all day from local performers including Odd Bird, John Courage & the Great Plains, Those Unknown, Girls in Suede, NorBay award winners Hot Club Beelzebub, and more.

Festivities include radio production how tos, kids activities, community media skill building, local food & drink, community group and vendor booths, silent auction, giveaways and more.

KWTF Farm Fest is a fundraiser for KWTF Radio, a new Community Supported Radio project dedicated to local arts, culture and news. KWTF currently has an online community radio station at www.kwtf.net and is fundraising for a full power broadcast station, at 88.1 FM, to serve Santa Rosa and Western Sonoma County.

KWTF Radio relies on grassroots funding and is raising $80,000 to build, maintain, and operate their transmitter. The broadcast signal must be transmitting on air by March 2013. KWTF provides grassroots programs and serves an audience not currently served by other local radio stations.

“KWTF Farm Fest celebrates the connection between community supported agriculture and community supported media,” says Ben Saari, KWTF Radio’s interim Station Manager.

Community members can easily get involved with KWTF by signing up for email updates, becoming a volunteer, creating radio programs, spreading the word and/or donating to KWTF today! You can subscribe and support KWTF for as little as $5/month!

 This event is sponsored by Laguna Farm, Ajalon Printing, Harmony Farm Supply, the Last Record Store, T-Shirt Underground, and the Sonoma County Peace & Justice Center.
