The Victra Beaver Verizon Store Grand Opening was a fun celebration for all!

The new Victra Beaver Verizon store was buzzing with excited customers all day! Many locals from Beaver and the surrounding areas visited the Grand Opening site. Beaver County Radio’s Frank Sparks and Ed Hermick had fun greeting visitors and helping them spin the prize wheel, while Taylor Nichol snapped photos of the event. The Beaver County Radio team had lots of fun learning about the promotions and trade-in deals from Store Manager Clark Littlepage! The Verizon team even helped Frank Sparks replace the screen cover on his phone! Check out some photos of the remote broadcast below, and be sure to head to 1701 3rd Street in Beaver and meet the Victra Beaver Verizon team for yourself!

Giant Tree falls on home in Beaver Falls

A massive tree toppled onto a house in Beaver County while the family slept Thursday night, leaving the homeowner shocked

“My step-son [came] running out saying the tree fell, I thought the Christmas tree fell,” says Robert Brickner, who lives in the 2000 block of Sixth Avenue in Beaver Falls. Brickner went outside and found the 80-foot silver maple tree toppled over into his house damaging his bathroom, a bedroom, the roof and porch.

The fire department told Brickner it was raining when the tree came down and a large gust of wind may be to blame.

Fortunately, there are no reported injuries.
