KROX Radio, a Minnesota Twins affiliate from day one in 1961, received the 2024 John Gordon Minnesota Twins Radio Affiliate of the Year before the Twins game on Saturday, August 31 at Target Field.
KROX received the award for not only carrying Twins baseball every year since they moved to Minnesota in 1961, but also for our service to Crookston and Northwest Minnesota. “We are honored to receive the award as die-hard Twins fans, but more importantly because we feel very similar to the Minnesota Twins and the Minnesota Twins Community Fund,” said KROX Owner/President Chris Fee. “The Twins are a class-act organization, and for them to tell us they think we are doing a great job of serving the community and northwest Minnesota means a lot to us. Not only those of us working at KROX now but those that have worked here since 1961.”
KROX received a nice trophy and Chris Fee got to throw out the ceremonial first pitch. The Minnesota Twins Community Fund is also donating $5,000 to the Highland School Inclusive playground project. “The Twins Community Fund has a similar philosophy as KROX,” said Fee. “We give back to the community and especially to the kids and to get a $5,000 donation for the Highland Inclusive Playground project makes this award even better. We thank the Twins for their generosity and for being the best community-minded sports organization we deal with.”
