 The Appalachian Advantage Plan is the simpler, better way to get the phone you actually want instead of paying hundreds of dollars up front. Simply pay the taxes up front and a few extra dollars on your monthly bill and get the phone you really want. It's called the Appalachian Advantage and is available at Appalachian Wireless. Local community members in the city of Pressensburg showed up in large numbers as the city submitted a video to HGTV's show Hometown for a chance to renovate downtown Pressensburg. We're in the process of applying for the hometown takeover. It's one of the programs HGTV has on there and they come in, they help spruce up the town a little bit and we're applying for it. The video is part of our application process. The event that we had, we asked people to come out, we had over 200 people show up. We had Sasquatch, we had Pathfinder from the college, we had dogs, we had bicyclers, we had runners, we had cheerleaders, we had all these different people who really care and they showed up to try to show their support and hopefully we will catch HGTV's attention. One is it's community and it shows that we're a community and we care. And two is obviously, you know, if we can get something spruced up downtown, you know, we're very fortunate. We have a lot of stuff that are outside of downtown and we get that little bit of just pushed downtown, that's really going to help us out. What we need for people, if they don't care to get out there and you're going to see videos, you're going to see pictures, push it out there, you know, maybe that one picture might catch somebody's eye, they have something to do with HGTV that will get them interested. And I cannot tell you how much I appreciate everybody who came out. You know, over 200 people showed up four o'clock in the afternoon, right after school and we knew it was a bad time but we couldn't wait in later because the, you know, it's dark and that just shows that people in Prestonburg, there's two things. One is they're interested and two is they're interested because they care, not for any other reason. And that's why it takes. In Letcher County, the city of Weizberg is also vying to be selected for HGTV's hometown makeover. Mayor James Wiley-Craft told me that the video the city will submit, how it's not only what Weizberg has to offer now, but also what it could offer if it is selected for the hometown makeover. We want to get their ideas. We want to have them come in, look at our town and make suggestions as to what needs to be done, although we are proud of what we have and we think it's beautiful as it is, but I'm sure it can use some improvement. We have several things that are tourist attractions that will cause people to want to come to town, plus the fact that it's just naturally beautiful. We're situated in between two gorgeous mountains and we are very proud of all of that. The deadline for submitting entries is this Friday, February 7th.
