A Washington state PBS station is a shoe-in for the award for oldest vehicle donated. |
|
Which station will win a 'Rusty?' |
Will the winners cry? Will their ball gowns trip them up as they make their way to the podium? Will they leave anyone out when saying their thank-yous? Some highly coveted awards -- the 'Rusty Hubcaps' or 'Rustys' for short -- are about to be handed out by CARS, the nonprofit organization that manages KGOU's vehicle donation program. Could KGOU win the Rusty for the most vehicle donations overall? We have our acceptance speech ready, just in case, and we'll be sure to thank the donors who have given KGOU your cars, trucks and RVs -- you like us, you really do.
