Plans are underway for the annual Princeton Optimist Club Radio Auction.
This auction began back in the 70s when WPKY and Twyman Boren came together with the Optimist Club to raise funds for supporting area youth programs. This auction has continued over the years under different owners of the local station and with the support of current owner Beth Mann the auction has seen record-breaking success for the past two years. WPKY team leader Heather Riley and Princeton Optimist Club President Jean Ann Albertson are pleased to announce plans for Radio Auction 24. Riley shared they are excited to be a part of the auction for another year.
