Saturday, May 24th 8-11 p.m.

Do you remember the days of your youth, when you would jump in your shiny sports car, with your favorite young lady by your side, and cruse up and down Mill Street?
 
You can once again re-live the days of your youth and enjoy the soundtrack as well, as we transform Mill Street in to a cruz'n corridor with the greatest golden oldies playing on your radio.
 
Tune to "Oldies 94.1″ on Saturday, May 24th at 8:00 p.m. to hear the lost hits you remember from your youth.
 
Make sure you leave the windows open, or the top down, as you and your lady cruz up and down Mill Street. Want to put in a request, give us a call here at the radio station at 785-545-3220 and we will try to play that Golden Oldie!
 
Stay listening to "Oldies 94.1" as we will be asking trivia questions for prizes, and having numerous giveaway items including Schlitterbahn passes for the waterpark in Kansas City, Kansas as well as Country Stampede Tickets in Manhattan.
