The Filename Extensions List was updated today.

Since the deadline for our sixth annual Halloween Ghost Story Contest has passed, any additional submissions that now arrive will automatically be held for next year.

If you try to FAX a story and get a busy signal, please just keep trying, or use an alternative like e-mail. We've been getting a lot of entries FAXed in during the day. Also, please don't forget to include your age category with your entry.

Just a final reminder that the deadline for submissions for the sixth annual Halloween Ghost Story Contest is tonight.

Also, we apologize to anyone who tried calling late afternoon yesterday; we closed a little early due to the above.

The office will be closed for the holiday. However, the Community Events Calendar, Yard Sales Calendar, and other like pages will continue to be updated.

October is here and we've already received entries for our sixth annual Halloween Ghost Story Contest. Please remember that we'll always e-mail a message back to you letting you know that we received your entry if you e-mail or FAX it (and provide us with a working return e-mail address, of course). If we don't get back to you within a couple business days, please contact us and let us know; it's not unheard of for FAXed entries to get eaten or e-mail entries to get temporarily delayed in the ether.
