A Tradition of Community Support
Park Region Telephone and asociated companies Valley Telephone, Rothsay Telephone, and Otter Tail Telcom, have a strong tradition of supporting community needs throughout our service areas.
We regard partnerships with nonprofit organizations as an important investment in the future of communities we serve and add to the vitality of our company. Over time, we have participated in and assisted with many community projects and festivals, educational programs, youth sports activities, local government, health programs, and nonprofit organizations. To achieve the greatest benefit from available funding, we focus on events or programs that directly impact the communities we serve.
Fairs, Parades & Trade Shows
We enjoy participating in many of the area parades throughout the summer and also have a display booth at the West Otter Tail County Fair in July. Our sales team is also available to demonstrate our latest technology at area trade shows throughout the year.
