(Beaver Falls, Pa.) Beaver County has a tradition of President’s visiting Beaver County and even one President calling into a Beaver County Radio talk show.  It all started with with John F. Kennedy’s campaign visit to the city building in Beaver Falls in 1960. Kennedy returned to Beaver County, specifically in Aliquippa in October of 1962 for another campaign stop. In 1980 President Jimmy Carter visited Beaver Falls. President Bill Clinton and future Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, Bill’s wife and the First Lady at the time visited the Laughlin Memorial Library in 1993. Future President Donald Trump came to Ambridge Field House just one month before being elected President in 2016.  Finally one President even called in live on the air on Beaver County Radio. Dave Felts who was the host of AM Connection on 1230 WBVP took the phone call of President Ronald Reagan. Felts answered the phone with “Go ahead caller” only to learn it was the President of the United States.

Donald Trump held a campaign rally at the Ambridge School District Field House on October 10, 2016.
