WCPE's 2003 Open House

Thanks to everyone who attended our 25th Anniversary Open House!

On Saturday, October 4 classical music fans made the trek to Wake Forest to view the WCPE studios, meet the announcers, and have a great time!

Volunteers Curtis Brothers and Keith Lewis have a little fun while waiting for the first guests to arrive.

Long-time volunteer Lesley Hyman was one of more than 2 dozen friends to be inducted into the "1000 Hour Club," acknowledging over 1000 hours of volunteer service to WCPE.

Cars begin to fill the parking lot in front of the studio building as guests arrive.

Hundreds of guests came out to celebrate WCPE's 25th anniversary! In this photo you can spot "Music in the Night" host Elmo Scoggin (in the doorway), "Allegro" host William Woltz (center of photo, to the right of Elmo) and Volunteer Director Dave Sackett (far right).

Announcer Melissa McAllister led tours through WCPE's broadcast studio as guests mingled outside the window.

Larry Kirwan, host of "Sleepers, Awake!" plays his hammered dulcimer as entertainment for the Open House guests.

Former host of "Sing for Joy!", Dr. Alvin Reuter, sat down for a quick interview with Ken Hoover, host of WCPE's "Great Sacred Music."

Visitors walk down the long driveway towards the transmitter building in order to get a closer look at WCPE's 100,000 watt transmitter, generator and 1,200 foot tower.

A view of the tower from its base. At 1,200 feet, it's almost as tall as the Empire State Building!

We thank you for your support of Great Classical Music and are truly thankful for your participation in our 25th anniversary Open House!

Feel free to download the 25th Anniversary booklet that was published for our 2003 Open House. (3.1MB PDF file)
