We printed the Homecoming Court with some mismatched photos and names — it went to print that way, and we apologize for the mistake and any confusion it caused. The e-edition has been corrected — seems our captions wandered off their assigned spots.

Printed color copies of the corrected Homecoming Court section have been left at Express Mart in Vernon for anyone who would like one. Special thanks to Phillip at Express Mart for catching the mismatched photos and names, and thanks to Expression for the lovely portraits.

For anyone wanting to see the revised edition, we’re offering a free 48-hour e-edition pass this week. To request a pass, please email [email protected]
Thank you for your patience.
