Celebrating 40 Years of KDNK

With strong support from our community for 40 years, and without commercial constraint, KDNK on the air can be occasionally profound, sometimes profane, very funny, even unabashedly silly, often informative but always compelling. We are goosebump radio for the Roaring Fork Valley and Beyond. Since 1983 we have been an accurate mirror of our valley-wide community. Thanks for that opportunity and please enjoy these blasts from KDNK's past.
  • Shelly was 13 at the first Mountain Fair.
  • Poppy the Clown was a staple at Mountain Fair for at least 20 years. Here he jerks some tears and causes goosebumps to rise all around town.
  • The little girl may have been lost at Mountain Fair, but she knew she was home.
  • Oh my God! Blueberry White Chocolate pie? Yowza.
  • A little dead air never killed anybody.
  • As concise a definition of the miracle of Mountain Fair as there is, provided here by Marilyn Gleason, longtime Voice of the Fair on KDNK.
  • This is a clip from the most exciting Women's Woodsplitting contest in Mountain Fair history in 2012.
  • Fred Haberlein, known as Lightning Heart, traditionally gave the blessing to open every Mountain Fair.
  • From Old Golds to Marlboro Lights. The old rocker can still cough anyway.
  • What if the qualified help never arrives?
  • Even baby squirrels love KDNK.
  • This is part two of KDNK's first, and maybe still the best, gossip show, from the early and mid-80s. I don't know if they were hanging out over a white picket fence. Maybe it was a tie-dye picket fence. The novelty of poking gentle fun at the locals must have been irresistible.
