National Pasta Month

October is National Pasta Month, and Rugby Broadcasters will be celebrating by giving some lucky people the chance to win pasta prize packs.

Each prize pack comes with some pasta, a shirt, a recipe card (for ideas), and tools for cooking pasta.

During the week of Oct. 19-23 at 925 am each day Rugby Broadcasters will be doing "SPOOKY TRIVIA"--with questions based off scary movies, tv, books and monster folklore. However it is open to everyone, including those who don't like scary things. Listen for each day's trivia question and if you think you know the answer give us a call at 776-5254. Guess correctly and a pasta prize pack is yours.

SPOOKY TRIVIA GROUND RULES: 1. You must listen to the trivia question and all possible answers before calling in your guess. 2. If you are the winner, you or a designated pick-up person must pick up your prize on or before 4 pm Friday, Oct. 23. They will not be held any longer than that.
