Grand Opening Kicks Off 50th Anniversary Celebration

I didn't get a lot of sleep this week preparing for the Grand Opening celebration of our the WLSC studios. There was plenty to do in preperation for the event like painting, cleaning, hanging photos and making sure the invitations were mailed and sending out press releases to the media and.....I think you get the idea.

Folks started arriving before 9 AM and they kept coming through the afternoon. The Morris Brothers kicked off Bluegrass on the Corner and entertained our standing room only crowd with two hours of good ol' bluegrass music. Wow!

We aired the event on WLSC and even on our website, WLSCRadio.com. It was HUGE! Speaking of huge, Dolly joined us while we had lunch and posed for photos and entertained the crowd with a couple of songs. It was HUGE!

After lunch, Promiseland, a Southern Gospel group from Wilimington, NC entertained the audience with a full set of inspirational songs.

Considering we had rain all day, we're pleased with the turnout and the response. A couple of newspapers stopped by and a reporter from WPDE-TV 15. Man, I love it when the media talks about what we're doing. I have a feeling they're going to be doing a whole lot of talking about us because we've got BIG plans for America's Biggest Little Station. After all WLSC is celebrating 50 years of service to the Carolinas!

Stay Tuned!
