The cost of an ad is determined by the size, placement in the paper, and whether it's in color or black and white. Find our rates and specials here.

To start, email, fax, or bring into our office what you would like on your ad or you can send something you already have designed. From there, we can discuss sizing and placement options. 

Front page space is very limited, some publications filling up on the front page as early as the year before. If you're interested in reserving front page space, contact us as soon as possible and let us know what size ad you'd like reserved.

We have multiple specials throughout the year, such as holiday specials, Easter, Mother's Day, etc. We also have special sections going on regularly. Find the flyers for those here.

We also offer a discount when you place your ad in both papers in the same week. Non-profit organizations also receive a discount on our regular rate.

If you would like to be put on our email list to learn about upcoming specials, contact us here.
