š Our Fall Fiber Festival shirts tell a story.
Thereās a little more to this yearās shirt design than meets the eye. Every detail represents a piece of who we are, where we came from, and the people who made RTC what it is today.
āļø The telephone poles. A reminder of our roots and the technology that first connected our rural communities.
š» The pickup truck. Thatās actually our CEOās truck! A little personal touch that reflects the hardworking, down-to-earth spirit of RTC.
š¾ The farm and barn. A tribute to the rural families, farmers, and neighbors whose vision and determination helped establish RTC back in 1949.
And hereās something else that makes this celebration special: October is RTCās birthday month! š
For 77 years, weāve been part of these communities. What began with neighbors coming together to bring telephone service to rural homes has grown into something those original founders could have only imagined.
Today, the technology has changed. Telephone lines have become fiber connections. The world has become more connected than ever. But the heart of RTC remains the same.
Our roots are rural. Our connections reach around the world. And our commitment will always be to the communities we serve.
This Fall Fiber Festival, weāre celebrating more than another birthday. Weāre celebrating our history, the people who built it, and most importantly, YOU.
Because without the generations of families, businesses, and neighbors who have trusted us to keep them connected, there wouldnāt be an RTC story to tell.
ā¤ļø 77 years of roots. Generations of connections. A future weāre building together.
So, what do you think of this yearās shirt? Take pictures of yourself in the shirt and post it here!!
And weād love to hear what you think!
