Hot Radio Maine’s 13th Annual Free Turkey Giveaway WELLS Hot Radio Maine recently announced the details of their a n nu a l f ree T ha n k sg iv i ng turkey giveaway. The giveaway is the station’s longest running event, now in its 13th year. As a cornerstone annual tradition, Hot Radio Maine has now given away over 2,700 free turkeys over the past 12 years. This year, the station plans to give away more than 200 free turkeys. In conjunction with the Maine Credit Unions’ Cam-
paign for Ending Hunger and with support from That Place in Ogunquit, this year’s giveaway will be at the IGA in Wells, lo-
cated at 1517 Post Road. The turkey giveaway will begin at 11 a.m. on Tuesday, Nov. 25. Turkeys will be handed out on
a first-come, first-served basis until they are all distributed. This is a no-cost, no strings attached event. Members of the community need only to show up at the Wells IGA at 11 a.m. on Tuesday. As in prior years, Hot Radio Maine does respectfully ask that those in need of help be allowed to go first. Hot Radio Maine’s program director and morning host, Ryan Deelon, announced the giveaway on the station’s statewide signal and web broadcast,
saying “Now in its thirteenth year, this event is something our entire team is exceptionally proud to be part of. With rising food prices and concerns surrounding many issues in our community, we hope this giveaway can help take some stress away from the Thanksgiving holiday. We look forward to seeing everyone on Tuesday.” Hot Radio Maine is an award-winning station with See TURKEY on page 10 . . .
