Music lovers and vinyl collectors, rejoice. 

The 8th annual Okanagan Vinyl Festival for Peach City Radio, CFUZ, is coming up on Sunday, Sept. 22 at the Penticton Seniors' Drop In Centre. 

There will be a selection of albums of various genres from vendors all around the province. There will also be turntables and audio equipment for sale from Peach City Radio's recent audio equipment donation drive. 

CFUZ will be DJ-ing throughout the event, and will be broadcasting live on 92.9 FM. It's sponsored by local businesses including London Drugs, Valley First Credit Union, Culmina Winery, Bad Tattoo and Elma.

The SOEC supports Okanagan Vinyl Festival and has provided 2 tickets to the upcoming Cheech and Chong show. The Dream Café has also provided tickets for upcoming events. All attendees will be entered in a door-prize draw for these tickets.  

Admission costs $2 at the door with proceeds going to Penticton's community radio station.
