🍩 Bledsoe Telephone Co-Op Wraps Cooperative Month with Final Tech Tuesday & Treats in Pikeville

As October winds down, Bledsoe Telephone Co-Op (BTC) is marking the end of Cooperative Month with a special community gathering in Pikeville, bringing together neighbors, fresh treats, and local leadership for a final celebration of the cooperative spirit that defines the Sequatchie Valley.

The last Tech Tuesday & Treats event featured fresh donuts, apple cider, and a meet-and-greet with a special guest: Marcus, the Mayor of Dayton Mountain. 🍎 The gathering gave community members a chance to connect with BTC staff and local officials in a relaxed, informal setting-a fitting way to close out a month dedicated to celebrating cooperative values and community ownership.

📍 Why This Matters Locally

Tech Tuesday & Treats has served as more than just a promotional event; it’s been a touchpoint for residents to learn about fiber internet and telecommunications services while building relationships with the cooperative that serves the valley. By hosting these events in Pikeville and inviting local leaders like the Mayor of Dayton Mountain, BTC reinforces the cooperative model’s emphasis on community connection and shared purpose. ✨

For residents across the Sequatchie Valley and nearby areas who rely on BTC for internet and phone service, these gatherings underscore how a locally owned cooperative operates differently from corporate providers-prioritizing face-to-face relationships and community engagement alongside infrastructure investment.

🤝 Looking Ahead

While Tech Tuesday & Treats concludes for now, the event series reflects BTC’s ongoing commitment to staying visible and accessible to the communities it serves. Residents interested in learning more about BTC’s fiber internet and telecommunications offerings can reach out directly or stay connected through the cooperative’s social channels for future community events and service updates.
