Bestway Child Safety Event

Bestway Rent-To-Own stores teamed with McGruff the Crime Dog and the National Crime Prevention Council, to bring a free child safety event to local communities at each of the Bestway stores on October 7. The event was so successful that officials at Bestway plan to make this an annual occurrence. "This is such a great cause," says Curtis Cannon, Bestway marketing manager. "We had a fantastic turnout at all of our stores and we plan to make this an annual event. We will probably do this in the summer next year so that even more families will be able to attend."
