The day has almost arrived! Next week KTAB hits the road to five local cities with tons of prizes and of course your favorite personalities in tow.

The line up of each days events includes a live broadcast of KTAB 4u with host Alex Hayes, along with the 5, 6 and 10 o'clock newscasts with Bob Bartlett, Maxine Ridling, Sam Nichols, and David Robinett.

Between the 6 and 10 hours, KTAB General Manager Eric Thomas and Host Alex Hayes will lead the crowd in an assortment of fun games and of course hand out all kinds of prizes, from Rangers and Cowboys tickets, to NRH20 tickets and T-Shirts.

For viewers who have witness passed On The Road events, some of this year's games may be a little unfamiliar.

"We decided this year we wanted to change it up a little bit," explains Thomas. "One that we are really hoping takes off is the Stupid Pet Tricks."

We're looking for the funniest, goofiest, and wildest pets in the Big Country! If your pet has a special talent, click the link above to register for the contest.

Pictionary will also be a new addition to the line up this year.

"We're going to have all types of neat words that they can draw," says Thomas. "And then the anchors are all going to have to guess that."

Finally with this year's festivities, a game just for the kids is also in store. And this contest is sure to appeal to their sweeter nature.

"We're going to have a pudding eating contest!" says Thomas, "and they're going to win prizes for that."

In addition to the new games this year, KTAB is bringing back the favorite three stage contest to find the Big Country's biggest Survivor. But this year's contest will not only test your physical strength, but your mental stamina as well.

"Last year I thought we weren't as fair to the females," explains Thomas, "because there is a lot of physical in it."

To wrap up the party each night, a live musician will take the stage at around 9 p.m., just before the live 10 o'clock broadcast.
