Over 90 toy turkeys were dropped at Winrock Town Center as part of the 2nd annual KKOB Turkey Drop on Saturday.
The 96 toy turkeys landed over a market target zone in the parking lot on Saturday.
Brenda Maes won first prize when the toy turkey assigned to her came closest to the target. She won a recliner from American Home, a 65-inch TV and a $250 gift card to Albertsons, KOAT reported.
The event pays homage to the “WKRP in Cincinnati” episode, in which live birds were fictionally dropped from a helicopter outside a shopping center as part of a special turkey giveaway.
“Last year’s Turkey Drop was one of our most talked-about promotions,” a NewsRadio KKOB news release states. “It’s fun, it’s visual, and it brings people together. This has already become a community tradition, and we’re thrilled to grow it again this year.”
The turkey drop was not the only event KKOB was a part of.
On Thursday and Friday, KKOB participated with other Cumulus Media Albuquerque companies in a radiothon benefiting the Roadrunner Food Bank.
