All advertising and news articles need to be
in our office no later than
5:00 p.m. Monday before each issue.
Most items brought on Tuesday will not run
until the next week.
Since Fridays are slow for us, it would help
us out if your ads or news articles could be
brought in on the Friday before each issue, if
possible. It gives us extra time to do a better
job for you.
Thank You,
