NEW 2017 COMMUNITY GUIDE
The new community guide went into distribution in November ion time for the Lighting of the Square. You can get a copy at the Chamber office, at Read Between the Lynes and at Harley Davidson. If you need additional copies for your business please let us know!
A Special Thank You to our advertisers, and to the NW Herald for all their hard work and dedication in making this a successful publication! We had nearly 3 times the number of advertisers this year than last. We recognize there were more of you interested in participating in the Guide but time and space ran out as the print deadline loomed, so everyone couldn't be accommodated. We will plan more time and space next year to resolve this.
Please send over any updates or changes you'd like made throughout the year, so we can address your needs while space and time allow us to make the edits.
