MascotRos
|
Ros arrived at KROS in March 2008 at
the invitation of Tommy. Like the song "She got the
Goldmine, I got the Shaft" Ros needed a place to stay with his 5
children. He gets to stay here
as long as he serves as the station mascot and make appearances at
KROS events and get his picture taken, etc. Tough job, but
somebody has to do it!
