 This just in August is hotter than ever at Appalachian Wireless, as they are slashing all normal contract pricing on all smartphones by 50% when you sign up for service. Better service, bigger saving, serving you for the last 25 years at Appalachian Wireless. Sizzling, peeling, cutting, and washing are the sounds you'll hear in Louisville Saturday as the Pikeville High School Junior Chef Cooking Team competes at the Kentucky State Fair. 16 teams compete for a chance at the state title in an iron chef type cookoff hosted by the Kentucky Department of Agriculture. Round one of the finals begins Friday and each team chooses its own dish that meets school cafeteria guidelines as well as other criteria. We chose Shippard's Pie because it has a lot of vegetables in it, vegetables that are locally grown in our community and it's easy to make and it tastes good. After winning second place last year the team is hopeful. This will make Pikeville's fourth consecutive trip to state. I love this team so much you know they became a part of my family and we love the support from our community and we're proud to be Appalachian proud. The Pikeville High School Junior Chef Cooking Team will compete at 9 Saturday morning and then 11 if successful. The final round of the competition will be next Thursday and Friday.
