Live Broadcast from the Community Garage Sale!

Last weekend, Radio Sausalito broadcast life from the City of Sausalito Community Garage Sale. It was a beautiful day and over 700 people showed up to buy and sell and trade. While people tuned in to our signal, the city set up a radio and speakers on top of a nearby building so that our broadcast could be heard by the entire sale.

Ruthann and Emma (from Gumbo) were on the air along with our engineer Leon Reid. Later in the day,  DJ Dizzy Jones had her on-air debut and spun some tunes. A special thanks to the many listeners stopped by and thanked us for the great jazz and programming. It was a great day for everyone!
