WOI RADIO LAUNCHES 'IOWA WEEK II'

AMES, Iowa -- Iowa's past, present and future will be the subject of a series of interviews, documentaries and live broadcasts during WOI Radio's annual Iowa Week, Aug. 17-23.

Iowa Week will showcase different aspects of Iowa and culminate with a small town picnic on Saturday, Aug. 23. The location of this year's picnic, held last year at the Garst Farm in Coon Rapids, will be announced at a later date.

WOI-FM will begin each day of Iowa Week with its morning march at 7:15 a.m. The morning march will be music recorded at the annual Boone Community Bands Day.
