"It's just an opportunity for us to get with our listeners and just have fun, have a great time," said Bailey Coleman, V100.7 program director.

"I think it's really cool. It's not too many places you can go to, too many events in Milwaukee that I've been to that is free. It's in a nice area, it's in a location that's convenient," Purchase said.

Purchase was thrilled to see entertainment for the whole family, including health and wellness professionals, live music, a bounce house, a candy bar and Gee's Clippers was on hand giving away free cuts for everyone.

"We just like to give back to the community. You know, Gee's Clippers is big in the community so we try to come out as much as possible for the community," said Lonnie Smith, Gee's Clippers.

The event is a day-long opportunity for V100.7 to say thanks to its listeners. New at this year's affair was a work recruitment area for folks looking for college and employment opportunities.
