The WEKU stations are once again proud media sponsors of the annual Keeneland Concours d'Elegance. This year's Concours will take place Saturday July 21, 2012 from 9:00 a.m. until 4:30 p.m. with the awards ceremony at 3:00 p.m.

Tune to 88.9 WEKU and our network of stations for our special Car Talk Marathon, including "live" updates from Keeneland from 10:00 a.m. until 4:00 p.m. This year’s event will showcase over 130 of the finest collector models. And it’s not just cars. Motorcycles and other unique vehicles will be judged for their historical accuracy, presentation and cleanliness.

This year's Concours will feature Packard, a brand synonymous with automotive style and luxury.

Proceeds benefit the Kentucky Children’s Hospital.

This week's episode of Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me will air at 4:00 p.m.
