Central Otago's only volunteer radio station has celebrated the service of those involved for more than 10 years.
Burn 729am, which is based in Ranfurly and broadcasts throughout Central Otago, will mark the 20th anniversary of radio in the Maniototo during September 2011.
Many people in the community have been involved with the station since its establishment.
Others have been essential to its operation through their contributions of time and energy.
Board member Amie Pont said initially an event was organised to celebrate 10 years of a Combined Churches of Maniototo "choices" programme, which aired each Sunday morning.
Some had been announcing for 18 years and others were involved in founding the station.
Awards made of Oamaru stone and sporting a tea light candle, to represent Burn, were presented at the event.
People were also made honorary life members of the radio station.
