You've likely heard about this summer's Sustainable Energy Raffle to benefit KSUT on the air.  Or, you may have seen the grand prize out and about at the Pagosa Folk & Bluegrass Festival, Animas River Blues Festival, or in front of Nature's Oasis and Durango Coffee Company. Generously sponsored by Hanson Honda, the new 2010 Honda Insight, has a retail value of $22,000, featuring EPA 43 MPG and their new "eco-assist" technology.


Tickets are only $20 each, or six for $100. Only 3,000 raffle tickets will be sold and are available at our sponsors: Durango Coffee Company, Nature's Oasis, Hanson Honda,

Congratulations to our "early bird" winners Marty Faigin (pictured below), and Karen Smith-Sumrall, who received plug-in electric scooters from Love Bug Motors.

KSUT is pleased to be the radio sponsor
for Michael Franti and Spearhead in concert, coming up on August 1 at Three Springs in Durango. Franti has become a core artist on the Music Blend over the years, and paid a visit to the KSUT studios when he was in the region in 2008.  He'll be joining us live in-studio Sunday afternoon at approximately 1:30 prior to the concert.

A great, young contemporary singer-songwriter, Brett Dennen opens the show.

KSUT is one of the local non-profit beneficiaries for alcohol sales at the event. Thanks to Tami Graham Presents for that opportunity, as well as bringing Franti back to the area.

Tickets available at Animas Trading Co., the Three Springs Information Booth and online at michaelfranti.com.

Hope to see you there!
