Congratulations to Captains Brian Stice, Chad Walker, and Chris Mitchell and Engineers Zach Tindol, Anissa Lee, Riley Kitchen, Tyler Savage, and Tyler Bertram. 👏 We're proud to have you here at WPFR.

With possible thunder and lightning in the forecast, here’s how to stay safe and come prepared to Duck Daze this weekend:

🔹When thunder roars, go indoors!
🔹Move into a building or hard-top vehicle.
🔹Pay attention to alerts and warnings.
🔹Avoid using electronics plugged into outlets.
🔹Avoid running water (showers, sinks, etc.).
🔹Have a plan to reconnect with your group if you become separated.

Stay aware, plan ahead and take precautions to keep yourself and your family safe.

Duck Daze is only a few days away! Come celebrate with us this Saturday, June 6 starting at 10 a.m. with our annual Duck Daze Parade!

The parade begins at 29th Street, traveling in the southbound lanes of Bridgeport Way, crossing to the northbound lanes at 35th Street, and ending at 37th Street Court towards Drexler Drive.

With this wonderful parade and day filled with tons of fun, we do have road closures to make sure the event can run safely and smoothly!
