We do hope that in addition to becoming a subscriber, booster or champion that people will continue to engage by letting us know what is happening in the community (especially the news that people will let us put in the paper). It has been really fun to meet readers at the Creemore Farmers’ Market these past weeks, hear feedback and chat about the importance of community newspapers in these uncertain times. But it is the support of the community that keeps the paper going and we are all better for having a source of local news and information. Here's a shout-out to this week's boosters and champions:
