Skidmore Signal Now in Tabloid Format


The Signal is new and improved.

If you are familiar with the previous incarnation of the Skidmore Signal newsletter, and have been out and about lately, you may have noticed some pretty big changes to our little publication. To date, the Signal existed only on the internet and occasionally as a small, hard to find, two-page newsletter. On Tuesday the Signal evolved into a full fledged 12 page tabloid newspaper and by golly we printed a lot of them and we're putting them everywhere. Faithful readers of the online Signal will find familiar content along with a few new articles. The final installment of Edwin Wallek's 3-part story "Picking and Ginning" is included along with the first two segments for the benefit of the many folks who will no doubt be reading it for the first time. In future issues, selected stories will appear first in the printed edition, then online. In this way, we hope to keep the flow of information fresh while attracting more readers via the new "offline" format.

The new Signal may be purchased for the low low price of 50 cents (or 2 for a dollar) at any of the following local businesses: Chisholm Trail Cafe, Dalia's, Hilltop Lounge, Hoot Owl Hollow, Lucky Horseshoe, Kwik Pantry, Papa's Market, Mary's Place (Papalote), and Shamrock. We are hoping to place a few issues at the Tynan Co-op by the weekend. The Signal thanks the community for its support and welcomes any suggestions for improving the publication.
