BACK TO THE GRIND
The crew at KRQK /KLLB in Lompoc, CA, helped get students in Lompoc back into the habit of answering questions by throwing a "Back To School /Back To Trivia" promotion at a local mall. By answering a trivia question, the contestant would win a Cherry Coke or a California Get -Away weekend. Sam Jackson, Chris Cute and Michael Newman hosted the event and decided that nothing less than tuxedos would do! (Their ties are all red - we assume that was in honor of the Cherry Coke.)
