Sell It! Tell Customers You Hear Them!
KXXO recently took part in a holiday shopping survey. It clearly showed that our listeners want to Shop Local – stores and services just need to convince them that it’s safe to do so! Let us make a radio ad for your store or service – FREE – that tells what you’ve done to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience. Contact Keri at keri@mixx96.com or 360-943-9937.
Fall Fun! Pumpkin Patches and Harvest Festivals!
Everything’s different in 2020, which will result in fewer haunted houses and less trick-or-treating. However, most pumpkin patches are still operating with Covid-19 precautions in place. See our Fall Fun Guide 2020. There’s also Hands On Children’s Museum’s Boo Bash, Briggs YMCA Drive-Through Halloween, Haunted Carwashes in Tacoma and Puyallup, and Centralia-Chehalis Railroad’s Pumpkin Trains. More on all these on our regular Event Calendar
