WILKESBORO, NC (Feb. 12, 2016) --- Being stuck inside while it is bitterly cold or snowy can be rough for people of all ages.

U.S. Cellular is hosting a free Device Workshop in Wilkesboro to show you the many ways your wireless device can keep the entire family entertained even when the weather outside keeps you indoors. The workshop is open to everyone, and you don�t need to be a U.S. Cellular customer to attend.
