The AAA Schuylkill County Insurance Agency observed its 50th anniversary last week with a celebration thanking its customers for their support throughout the years. The anniversary was commemorated in the company's main office in Pottsville, as well as at the branch office in Tamaqua.

The eight employees are all well-versed in offering auto, home, motorcycle, boat, mobile home, motor home, RV and life insurance.Prizes, including a flat-screen television, gift cards and gift bags, were awarded by raffle. In addition, a number of small gift items were available to anyone who visited either office last week. Cupcakes for the celebration were provided by Momma C's Bakery of West Penn Township.
