 The Appalachian Wireless Holiday Sale is going on now. Till the end of the year, visit us in store or reserve online for an unbelievable sale on the hottest devices. We know what you want for the holidays because we are you. We are Appalachian Wireless. The first responders of the city of Pikeville held their Christmas with a first responder event at the Appalachian Wireless Arena on Saturday, December 17th. When I first started this, when it first started coming up, I was partnering with the city police department. You see those faces still to this day and just letting them know that we care about them then as we do now, seeing how they've grown to young women, young men that's been out in the community serving them as well just like we did many years ago. More than 50 children got the chance to spend the day with a first responder, get presents from Santa and Mrs. Claus, play games and more. Christmas with a first responder is the culmination of many outreach and fundraising events Pikeville City first responders hold throughout the year. So when we do these small fundraisers, the police department has done an amazing job and the fire department as well is getting involved when we can and making sure that, like I said, they know that we're there for them. So those little events throughout the year, they may seem simple when we're doing them at the time, but at the end of the year, as you can see these smiles and these kids' faces and the love that they show towards us and we get to show towards them that's why we all do it, is make sure that they know that. Christmas with a first responder helps and creates wonderful memories for many children every year. This event would not be possible without the support of the community and corporate sponsors.
