Winners were a plenty at Friendly Federal Credit Union as the Pirates Treasure Chest made an appearance.

(Aliquippa, Pa.) Friendly Federal Credit Union was the next stop on the Beaver County Radio Pittsburgh Pirates Chest 2019 tour.  Beaver County Radio’s Frank Sparks, host of Teleforum and Ed Hermick did a live broadcast from the Aliquippa location from 10:00 a.m. to noon.

The treasure chest was’t the only star of the show as it was Kid’s Day at Friendly Federal Credit Union. Friendly had drawings for prizes for the kids and they all received a free school bag. There were refreshments provided for everyone to enjoy. After having snacks the kids and parents were able to burn off those extra calories by spinning the Beaver County Radio Personality Prize Wheel and answering trivia questions for the opportunity to pick a prize from the treasure chest.
