 Summer has arrived and Appalachian Wireless has a great sell on the world's hottest smartphone from now to the end of the month. You can get the amazing iPhone 13 for more than half off because we are you. We are Appalachian Wireless. In light of June being LGBT Pride Month, Pikeville Pride will be holding a Pride picnic at the Pikeville City Park on Saturday June 18th. We are going to be having a picnic right here at the park just to let everybody get out and socialize again after two years of not being able to do anything. Let people know we haven't stopped fighting for them, we've not stopped fighting for their right to be who they are and that no matter what situation you're in, you can find an accepting person here locally. The picnic, which is free to attend, will host a variety of games, food and activities for LGBT plus individuals and allies alike to participate in. The picnic, however, is not the only Pride event in Pikeville as another larger Pride celebration is held in October. Well, I hope to see lots of people out. I hope to have lots of communication with people that maybe haven't been to one of our events before. And what I love to see is when you have many generations of the same family coming out, you know, if it's a grandparent and a mother and the child, it's absolutely wonderful to see that and then be so accepting. Pikeville Pride seeks to provide others with a sense of belonging where many companies and organizations slap rainbows on their products for the month of June, Pikeville Pride wants others to know that they won't let their colors fade. All over the country you're seeing companies that may never even have anything Pride all of a sudden they're Pride. We are Pride 365, you know, June is just the month to make everybody aware that we are here, we're not going anywhere, we're not here to take over the world, we just want our rights to live and be free and have our families and have a life. The Pride Month picnic will be held at 12 p.m. on Saturday, June 18th at the Pikeville City Park. The event is open to LGBT plus individuals as well as allies.
