As part of the WGDR 51st Birthday Weekend, we’ll “Party at the Pratt” on Saturday, May 18 from 3-5pm. All are invited to enjoy free live, local bluegrass music by the Grassers, good food, good company, tours of the station, and learn more about the station. Click through for further details!
Back in the late spring of 1973 WGDR, Plainfield went on the air at 91.1 FM for the first time. 48 years later, the FCC approved the ownership transition from Goddard College to Central Vermont Community Radio in May of 2021. To celebrate 50 (51) years on the air for WGDR and three years of community ownership, we are coming together for a big weekend of celebrating as a community both on the air and in person at the station.
We’ll be live and local, Friday, May 17-Sunday, May 19 all weekend long with special programming during each show and a few extra surprises along the way. We’re also inviting the whole community to the station for a “Party at the Pratt,” Saturday, May 18, 3-5pm. Come on down for live bluegrass music, great food, great company, station tours and more.
As part of this weekend, we’re looking to raise $2,500 as a birthday "gift" for WGDR from 51 folks giving %51 each. This will support the ongoing needs and upgrades of a 51-year-old station! We’ve got matching donors and sponsors ready to match every dollar raised too!
We are very excited to provide special programming in partnership with our friends at WWOZ, New Orleans as part of the 54th Jazz Fest.
WGDR & WGDH will live simulcast the Jazz Fest on the air a few times during the two week festival:
Fridays, April 26 & May 3, 6-7pm and Saturdays, April 27 & May 4, 7-8pm.
Central Vermont Community Radio is an asset to the community and as a renter on campus to any future owner. No matter what the future of campus holds, we look forward to remaining a strong partner with whoever owns or manages the Pratt building where we have been located for 51 years.
Goddard College gave us a generous lease for five years (2022-2027), of which we are now in year two. With that in place, we anticipate being in our current location at least until that expires, no matter who owns the campus.
