A note from Rhiannon, our LOCALadk Editor:
Dear friends,
You may have noticed that this year's summer issue has yet to come out. We are happy to announce that our magazines have been delivered to us today, and they will be distributed to our regions throughout the next week.
We apologize for such a delay in getting this issue into your hands.
As some of you know, LOCALadk is primarily a two-person team -- myself and Eric, my husband and LOCALadk 's creative design director. Over the last two months, we were hit with a tragedy. We experienced finding out we were pregnant with our first child only to then lose our pregnancy from a miscarriage. It is a loss so many have been through, including many of our readers. Like so many, it took us some time to regroup and find our feet again. That said, we were instantly surrounded by love, support, and care and were reminded of just how incredible our local communities are throughout the Adirondacks.
Putting the final touches on this issue for you helped us find a sense of purpose and healing, and we are incredibly proud of the issue we've put together. This summer's magazine was met with significant challenges beyond our personal circumstances (more on that soon), making its existence that much more special to us. It is one we will forever look back in with fondness, even with all of the complications surrounding it.
We thank you for your patience, we thank you for your support, and we thank you for your readership. We hope you enjoy this issue, and we look forward to seeing you in September for our fall issue.
Warmly,
Rhiannon and Eric Adsit
