Weather won’t stop us from celebrating Records, CDs and Music Memorabilia at the rescheduled  16th annual 88.1 Record Show on Saturday March 15, 2025.  The record show is sponsored by Red Ryder Lounge in Plymouth.

The show will run from 10am to 4pm at the Salem High School Cafeteria, and proceeds will benefit the nationally-recognized student radio station operated by the Plymouth-Canton Community Schools.

The show will feature special giveaways and door prizes in addition to a wide variety of vendors. 88.1 the Park expects to build on the success last year’s show, which had over 650 people attend. Much of the success of the show can be tied to the resurgence of interest in vinyl records.

“The record show is an experience everyone can enjoy. It’s amazing seeing everyone come together to enjoy music and finding their favorite vinyl records and CDs while supporting 88.1 the Park,” said Bill Keith, 88.1 the Park Station Manger.

Admission to the 881 the Park record show, during normal show hours, is $5. Collectors looking to get an early start to their shopping can gain early admission between 9:00 and 10:00 a.m. for $10. Students at Canton, Plymouth and Salem High Schools will receive free admission with a student ID.

We’re part of an amazing community in Canton and Plymouth and we can’t say thanks enough for your generosity in supporting our annual 88.1 the Park Thanks for Giving Pledge Drive.

Our community really came together to support 88.1 the Park.  It looked like we would fall short of our goal, but in the final days of the pledge drive you helped us raise over $24,000 through the gifts of listeners, alums and friends of the station.  Over 130 people gave throughout the week, with many of our donors giving for the first time.  Our listeners voiced their appreciation for our mix of Plymouth and Canton’s Hit Music, local news, high school sports and community based broadcasts.  We look forward to bringing you more radio powered by our amazing students.

So. as we head into Thanksgiving we want to take this moment to thank YOU.
