We wanted to let everyone know our phones, email, and website are down due to some issues following the challenges others have had nationwide the past week.

These issues are currently being worked on and with Thanksgiving slowing us down, we are told they should have us up and going by Friday at the latest.

We wanted to share an update and wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving.

We will not publish this week due to the Thanksgiving holiday as we take time to focus on family and finish preparing our new office to open to the public soon! Regular hours will resume Monday as we prepare next week's issue for print.

Thank you for your longing support. Wishing everyone in Caddo County a Happy Thanksgiving! 🦃✨
