We couldn't be happier to share something incredibly special with you! ✨

We teamed up with Josh Wapp—a talented local cartoonist, illustrator, caricaturist, and longtime KCR fan—to create a custom, one-of-a-kind illustration for Kootenay Co-op Radio!

If you look closely, you’ll spot some amazing Easter eggs hidden throughout the artwork. There are nods to iconic KCR shows, tributes to unforgettable live music sessions in the basement, grannies reading us stories, and you might even spot some Water Falling on Plastic!

Want to own a piece of station history? The poster (11*14) will be available for purchase at the KCR Block Party this Saturday!

✨ Premium Felt Paper: $25

🖼️ Standard Poster Print: $15

We can't wait for you to take home a little piece of KCR!
See you at the merch table!

With love, the KCR team 💕
