I wish to move to a small town where the daily paper's headline is that the local high school football team won their game against their rival on the other side of the state, and on page two is who won the baking contest.

I did the neighborhood newsletter for years and tried to feature the kids achievements. We had a recipe exchange and yard of the month and encouraged participation in local events. Now the online site seems all about stray dogs an break-ins.
 
@Lawrence00, that sounds like our local paper that comes out twice a week. It covers the local news for the western half of my county & the rural county west of us.

It covers everything we need to know in our area as far as local government happenings along, sports results from all of the school districts, upcoming festivals & a short article of how it went, local business ads, a local writer that does a article about local wildlife/plants/seasonal weather & another writer that does farming articles. I enjoy it every time I read it.

Last paper had in it that volunteers are needed for the Thanksgiving Dinner & how the local schools did in the State Report Card that came out.
