Albert and Billy community program shares local events, sponsors and holiday features
Summary
The Albert and Billy Show, a community entertainment radio/TV program, spent the episode on local sponsor acknowledgments, upcoming fundraisers and holiday events including a toy drive, Mount Crest chili supper and Thunder Mountain Acres seasonal farm visits.
The Albert and Billy Show, a community radio and local cable program, used the episode to highlight businesses, fundraisers and seasonal events in the Squatchie Valley area. Hosts thanked a list of local sponsors — including Citizens Tri County Bank, Bilbrey Insurance, Century 21/Pam Brown, Farm Bureau Insurance and others — and noted Citizens Tri County Bank will host holiday giveaway days on Dec. 5, Dec. 12 and Dec. 19 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at its Piedmont office on Main Street.
The program promoted several community fundraisers: the Buttsville County Sheriff’s Department toy drive accepting calls through Dec. 5 at (423) 447-2197 with distribution at the Butso County Fairgrounds, a Mount Crest Fire Hall chili supper (4–7 p.m., plates $8) to benefit the volunteer fire department, and Blitzle County’s trail ride and breakfast supporting the toy drive. Hosts repeated contact details and logistics and encouraged listener participation.
Sports coverage focused on local high school playoff travel: Bledsoe County’s team was headed to Elizabethton to face Happy Valley High School, with kickoff moved to 6 p.m. for the matchup and a live broadcast available on WATD. A mix of regional SEC commentary, coach salary talk and game results filled a longer sports segment.
Feature content included a community profile of Thunder Mountain Acres, an alpaca and holiday attraction run by Laurie and Mike Tanner in the Squatchie Valley (listed address 2650 College Station Crossroads). The hosts said the farm opens Nov. 15 and runs through Jan. 4 with free weekend visits, animal interactions and holiday attractions including Santa and themed characters.
The episode also included recurring segments: a trivia portion, the show’s “Albertology” inspirational readings, and a series of jokes and short humor bits. The hosts closed by reminding listeners to follow the program on BTC Fiber’s YouTube channel and the show’s Facebook page.
