Meet 🐾ROXIE🌪
While we give you time to gather your photos or videos for your
𝐇𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐭𝐨𝐰𝐧 𝐑𝐚𝐝𝐢𝐨 𝐆𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐩 𝐏𝐞𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐖𝐞𝐞𝐤 entry, we'd like you to take a moment to appreciate the highly practiced and graceful skills of this little gymnast, Roxie.

Roxie is a French Bulldog/Boston Terrier mix who provides endless entertainment to our own Hometown Radio Group Sales Specialist, Renee and her family. She was one year old when this video was taken and she had the Zoomies nightly!
Roxie and her sister take up most of the storage space on their Mom's phone and they always leave Renee wondering what she'll come home to next! 😆

We will feature them on our page and enter them to win a prize from our pet-friendly friends at The Spot in downtown Minot.

The Backpack Buddies Minot Summer Food Drive is in full swing!

Because hunger doesn't take a break, every summer our radio stations fill our airwaves with a super-simple way for you to help stuff Minot area students' backpacks with nutritious food to help them get through the next school year.
📝🥣🥪🍽️

All you have to do is head to your favorite Marketplace Foods Minot location, do your regular shopping, and at checkout just tell the cashier you want to purchase this week's Backpack Buddies item.

It's as simple as that!

❓𝐃𝐢𝐝 𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐊𝐧𝐨𝐰❓
When Hometown Radio Group became the Exclusive Media Partner for Backpack Buddies, the program was doing a fantastic job helping one area school.

Then we asked our friends at Marketplace Foods to help us collect more food for more kids...
..and now, more than a decade later and because of 𝗬𝗢𝗨𝗥 help, Backpack Buddies has grown to now filling the backpacks of hungry children in🎉 𝗧𝗘𝗡 𝗦𝗖𝗛𝗢𝗢𝗟𝗦🎉 across our community!

💥That's the power of working together as a Hometown!⭐️

Thank you for your continued support of this essential program!
