 This trustee 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. The Hatfield Volunteer Fire Department hosted its first ever poker run Saturday. Dozens of ATV and UTV enthusiasts joined together for what they thought would benefit the fire department. We're underfunded the way it is, so we need every dime we get. Participants drove five hours through the hills of eastern Kentucky, making several stops and taking a lunch break in the middle. It just brings in the community and lets them see what we're about. The Hatfield Fire Department hosts various fundraisers every year. However, this year the fire crew wanted a change. We're trying to come up with a fundraiser that's manageable. It's harder to manage like the haunted house we had. It takes numbers to pull off something like that. With a poker run, we can get by with one or two here and then four more stations. That's a total of five or six people. It's good community, clean fun. While this year's fundraiser was different, the proceeds also went somewhere else. At the end of the day, the fire department surprised Assistant Fire Chief Jody Bailey by giving his family the money. Bailey lost his home to a fire last month while no one was home.
