They attempted to break world records with the latest technology’s ability to measure the level of sound. Not only was this day a lot of fun, it raised money for a local charity.

What does early in the morning meant to you? Well, Micki from the Tyroute Telus K-Rock 105.7 Road Krew brought to you by the K-Rock Centre found out the hard way by being up at 5:00am for the 10th Anniversay Ride For Dad’s Cross Canada Tour to Fight Prostate Cancer, and their morning breakfast at Motorsport Plus. The K-Rock 105.7 Morning Krew was there broadcasting live all morning to get in on all of the action.

Saturday May 15th, was another jam packed day for the Road Krew! We welcomed our new member, Catie! She will be rocking out with Micki all summer long, so keep an eye out for this dynamic duo! The first event we rocked out to was the National Garage Sale for Shelter. We set up our smokin’ sound system and jammed out to tunes all morning in front of the Royal LePage on Gardiners Road. We then went hunting for the amazing bargains and fantastic finds. This garage sale wasn’t just taking place in Kingston, but at Royal LePage’s across Canada! Locally, all of the proceeds went to Interval House, a refuge for battered and abused women and children. It was really a privilege to be apart of this event, and we couldn’t have found better deals if we tried!

F-f-f-Freezing February!
March 2nd, 2010 by James
February was full of fame, Fanatics and fans!
The Road Krew kicked off the month with a Tom Cochrane concert top open Kingston’s Annual Feb Fest. The crowd was large and their hearts were even larger!
The week was complete with public skating in Market Square, a figure skating demonstration and of course, the Limestone Classic! In preparation for the annual tournament, the Road Krew almost froze their fingers off! But it was all worth it to see the brave and enthusiastic fans come out and support their hockey idols!
Rounding up the month was of course the Men’s Hockey Game between Canada and the USA for the Gold Metal in Vancouver 2010! The Road Krew hit up Fanatics and boy was it a nail biter! The place was packed full of fans and the energy was epic as Canada broke records with it’s 14th Gold Metal! What an amazing experience! Go Canada Go!
