KOOL98 Radio will be broadcasting Friday night’s football game at Woonsocket against Hanson, as well as doing a live broadcast. This summer KMIT and KOOL98 Radio are giving away a Chrysler Seabring, 2 airline tickets to anywhere in the continental U.S., and $1,000 worth of indoor/outdoor furniture for their “Super Summer Giveaway Promotion.” Spectators at Friday night’s game will have the opportunity to sign up to qualify to win one of these great prizes and there will be a separate sign up box for the seniors to register.

Please thank these major sponsors for making the live broadcast possible: Hegg Insurance, Forestburg Farmers Elevator, and Krohmer Agency, Inc. These businesses, plus the following, also made it possible to broadcast Friday night’s game: The Way Station, Springs Auto, Thornton Drug, Baker’s Repair/Baker’s Design, Farm Bureau Financial Services (Brian Bergeleen, Agent), Sal’s Gal’s Drive-Inn, and Alpena Co-op.
