Clifton drop box removed
Posted by Backroadsnews on Oct 31, 2008 in Uncategorized
I removed the Washington County News drop box from T’s grocery store in Clifton. There seemed to be some confusion with it (and I received yet another angry letter from Clifton for next week’s paper), so I figured folks might be better off mailing news items like everyone else in the county. I’m sorry it [...]

Get your pumpkins
Posted by Backroadsnews on Oct 27, 2008 in Uncategorized
Washington County residents have a couple good options for pumpkins yet this week. Gauby’s Pumpkin Shed in Washington and Chief Bruna in Hanover are both selling pumpkins and a variety of other gourds, etc. Gauby’s has a haunted maze this year which should be fun.

Back to black and white
Posted by Backroadsnews on Oct 27, 2008 in Uncategorized
The Washington County News will no longer be full color starting with the Nov. 13 issue. Even though I loved the options given to me by having full color and I have received a lot of positive comments about color, I cannot afford it in our market. Switching back to the printing press at Clay [...]
