October 19th Edition Highlights

This Tuesday, we're finally welcoming some (actually) cooler weather as we get ready to distribute this week's paper - yay! In addition to making note of the fact that you should probably start wearing a jacket in the morning, you may have observed that, for the past few weeks, your Shopper has been coming in two sections. To answer your questions: yes, we are doing this on purpose, and, yes, we do have a reason - a good one! Due to the high demand for color, we've been running out of color space, and, to get more, it's necessary to print the paper in two sections. That means more color availability for our advertisers, as well as a little more color in the lives of our readers. We hope you like it!

The focal point of this week's front page story is community events again - each is on Saturday, October 22nd, and each is for a good cause. Webb Hill 4-H is offering free flea and tick dippings for your pet from 8am to 1pm this Saturday. The event will take place in front of and is sponsored by Tractor Supply Company in Greenville. There will also be grilled hot dogs, chips and drinks available, and donations, while not required, are greatly appreciated, as they will go toward helping the 4-H youth cover the expenses of their club projects. To learn more about this event, and Webb Hill 4-H, check out their Facebook!

Meaningwhile, at the Greenville High School camps, between 9am and 4pm on Saturday, Ford will be lending a hand to students by hosting its Ford Drive One 4 Ur School event. When you show up at the school and test drive a new Ford, Ford will donate $20 toward a school project, and an additional $10 if you drive the new Ford Focus. There will also be food, entertainment and auto glass repair available, and all proceeds will go toward funding school projects.

If you've been wanting to know how the Hunt County Shopper stacks up against local competition, look no farther than this week's paper! On page 12, we break it down for you. Find out why we make the best use of your advertising dollars, whether you're getting the word out about a garage sale or grocery store. Plus, check out the rest of the paper for more family-friendly events, bargains and more!
