To celebrate 60 years of service, Alhambra-Grantfork Telephone Company provided their guests with an afternoon of free giveaways, drawings, food, ice cream, music, kids’ games and a bounce house. Some of the attendance prizes that were given to guests were free internet service, cash, gift certificates, and BBQ sets. There were also displays featuring historic cars, tractors, and telephone memorabilia.

To be given a chance to enter the drawing for the 40 inch television and cardinal tickets, guests were asked to view Alhambra-Grantfork Communications NEW television service, SkitterTV. SkitterTV is a combination of local and cable channels that offers only the most popular viewing channels, leaving out all of the “junk channels” that often come along with other TV packages. Included in its lineup are Fox Sports Midwest, Big Ten Network, SEC Network, Fox Sports 1 & 2, The Outdoor Channel, National Geographic, RFD, The Hallmark Channel along with many more. The advantage of SkitterTV’s package is that it is not necessary to ‘tier up’ to receive these premium channels. You can receive all of these great channels and many others for only $54.95 per month!
