“Take a Cell Phone Vacation”
Walhalla never had cell service before December 5, 2007. Community motto ”Visit Walhalla and Take a Cell Phone Vacation”A Horizons Action Plan Committee “Cell Service” went on a mission. The committee developed partnerships with members of the ambulance and fire departments, the Pembina County Emergency Management, and decided it was time to take action and contacted Alltel and Verizon. The City of Walhalla kept in contact with both companies and for several years both companies made verbal commitments that they would be coming to the area soon, but nothing concrete ever happened. The Horizons Action Committee and partners starting calling the companies and Alltel made a commitment to have service in the area before in the end of 2007. Walhalla residents were so excited it was like watching children in a “candy” store. Leadership and Partnerships prove to be successful.
