OUR FAVORITE

TIME OF YEAR!

It seems the month of

December is everyone's favorite

time of year... and we're no

exception! With all the fun

family holidays and the start of

the new year right around the

corner, this time of the year is

really just magical. 

This month in the WDKX studios

was one of our busiest yet! Not

only were we preparing for our

own annual Christmas events,

but there were PLENTY of

events throughout the city of

Rochester to attend. Being the

community station that we are,

we HAD to be at as many as

possible!

Take a look at some of our most

memorable December

adventures!

IN THIS ISSUE:

The WDKX Jam Squad had the pleasure of being

part of this annual Christmas event,

Every December, the city of Rochester comes

together with local community organizations to

help provide Christmas gifts and winter coats to

families in the community in need.

Everyone meets at City Hall to greet the families

and pass out toys and coats and even take a free

picture with Santa Clause!

BRINGING

CHRISTMAS

DOWNTOWN

2019

In preparation for their annual

community Christmas event, the

City of Rochester hosts a month

long coat and toy drive. During

this time, Rochester residents

are encouraged to drop off new

and gently used coats and

unwrapped toys to City Hall.

ROCHESTER'S

ANNUAL COAT

DRIVE

We didn't stop there, though. Step Jam 2019 was jam packed with a fashion

show featuring local models, local and regional musicians and several local

fraternities and sororities also took to the Step Jam stage to get their stroll on!

STEP

JAM

2019

This year featured showstopping

performances from East Elite Empire, Wilson

Pearls, Dunwoody Dance, The Eliminators

and Our Girls Dance.

Every second Saturday of December for the

last 10 years we bring the hottest step and

dance teams to the main stage from all

across Rochester, and this year was no

different!

Kwanzaa, the annual celebration of African-

American culture, was first introduced to the

United States in 1966 by Dr. Maulana Karenga. This

year, WDKX was pleased to be a sponsor of the

Memorial Art Gallery's Kwanzaa celebration,

Collecting and Investing in Black Art. The event

featured collections from black artists, a brief

history of African American Art, meet and greets

with the artists and panel discussions.
