Happy Tuesday, readers! I apologize for the late post today, but the good news is that the papers went out on time without any delays, despite the snowstorm last night. It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas outside, and the paper is embracing the festive spirit this month. This week, we have plenty of Christmas cheer to share, with many festive celebrations happening in Fulton County—there's something for everyone to enjoy, even for those who may feel like an old Scrooge. As we kick off the new month, we also have "December Days with Carson." All of this and more is included in this week's issue of The Fulton Democrat!

Happy Tuesday, readers! It was wonderful to see the much-needed rain this morning. Unfortunately, The Fulton Democrat encountered some technical issues this week, resulting in a font problem in a few of our headlines in the print edition. We upgraded one of our programs, and it appears that when it transferred to the printer, it defaulted to a different font style.
We apologize for this error, as mistakes can and do happen.
In this week's issue, we explore the first week of the Spoon River Drive, Carson shares some spooky haunts for Halloween, and we go purple in recognition of Domestic Violence Awareness Month.
All this and more in this week's edition of The Fulton Democrat!
