From the Publisher’s Desk . . .

By Chad Beatty | News

I pen this ‘Publishers Letter’ with little sleep having just arrived home from a much needed annual vacation. For the past week, about this time (noon), I would be lounging poolside ordering a virgin Pina Colada and fish tacos. Once the food had settled and the sunscreen wore off (Yes, I got a number of sunburns), I would head over to the waterslide for a wet and wild ride followed by a contest with my son to see who could swim the farthest underwater. Who won, you ask? When you are having underwater swimming contests in Aruba, there are no losers! Ahhh, those were the days.

But now it is back to work and I have a number of exciting announcements:

First, our newly redesigned website launched on March 1. Working hand-in-hand with local web design company Hound Dog Graphics, we set out to create a user-friendly, easy to navigate, and visually appealing website. I am happy to say that I think we accomplished all of our goals. If you haven’t had the opportunity to check us out online, please visit us at www.saratogaTodaynewspaper.com.

While on the site take a moment to enter your email address, and every Friday morning you will awaken to the newest edition of Saratoga TODAY in your inbox and a complimentary cup of coffee.*

(*Actual offer does not include coffee; after viewing our website, readers have been known to experience increased cerebral stimulation.)

Second, we are about to begin our annual ‘Best Of’ the Saratoga region. Beginning next week, watch for a multi-page spread in Saratoga TODAY providing all the details on how to vote for your favorite businesses in a variety of categories. I am happy to say that we truly have some of the best locally owned businesses I have ever frequented. Let them know that their efforts are appreciated.

Last but not least, Mother Nature got the best of us in February and we had to reschedule our Saratoga Bridal Expo. While it was a tough decision, in hindsight it was the perfect decision. Sunday, February 12 saw our region covered in snow, ice and a general wintery mess. The new date for our show is Friday night, May 5 at the Saratoga Springs City Center. Mark your calendars, gather your friends and plan on attending our ‘Rock the Runway’ fashion show where you will enjoy food, drinks, music, entertainment and some of the region’s premiere bridal vendors. This expo is a MUST SEE for all upcoming brides.

 

Other than that, it is good be back in Saratoga. See you around town!
