Here we are! In print again!
We are so excited to have hit this milestone. It has been months of planning and testing, and more planning, and a few backwards steps but we did it. Progress isn’t linear and I love that it isn’t because boy do you learn a lot.
Each month that passes by becomes more and more encouraging as we continue to meet such wonderful people in our community. We are so proud of this issue and are starting to feel like we are finally providing the content we had hoped for.
As much as we feel accomplished with the last few issues, we feel like we still have a long way to go. There is quite a bit of content that we haven’t even had a chance to add and sections of the magazine we want to expand.
One addition to the magazine that we are very excited about this month is our partnership with the Orillia & District Arts Council. Our covers, from now on, will feature art from local artists and an editorial about them inside the magazine as well. Go ahead, have a look at the cover again…
A huge thank you to all of our incredible advertisers and contributors this month. We are so excited to have you and can’t wait to see what more we can do together! Without all of you supporting us, we wouldn’t be able to support the community in this way.
And an extra special thank you to our distributors for supporting our return to print by allowing us to take up some of your space.
We have been so overwhelmed with kind words from our readers as well – it means so much to us. Here are a couple snippets of emails we received recently:
“Just happened upon this little publication and think it is great!”
“What an absolute delight it was to read The Villager this morning. I read your August issue cover to cover and enjoyed every page.”
We have also started an instagram account to compliment our facebook page so if you are someone who engages more with social media – go ahead and follow us!
If you’re looking to pick up a print issue of our magazine you can go to our print locations page.
And now, to go get our 7 month old from his nap. He woke up way too early so I guess my thoughts end here…ah parenthood.
Enjoy the read!
