Hiyaaaaa! Took a little blog break (whoops it's been a year) but want to get back into keeping in contact with you about all the great things happening in Burke and at the Gazette.
A small catch up because 2024 was an awesome year for the gazette!
* I welcomed my daughter, Frances Kate (Frankie), into the world and navigated our workspace around that for my maternity leave
* I brought on two awesome helpers, Kate Brady and Fran Hill
* The office got painted giving it a fresh look inside for customers
* We gave our sports schedules a major upgraded look
* We put out two large prints projects including 2,300 Burke Stampede Rodeo programs and 275 Music Booster music calendars
* We worked on design and print materials for eight different weddings
* We hosted a fun small business Saturday open house during the Christmas season
*And so much more!

Stay tuned because we really do have a lot of fun things in works for this year, and we can't wait to roll them out!

Newspaper: This week’s paper is a classic, just good small-town news. It includes some good deeds around town, great things happening at the school with our art program, and the Cougars continue to work hard! We also have an awesome new column that includes some delicious recipes from Fran Hill's kitchen. Reminder, we have an online edition that goes out on Tuesdays in color, reach out if you would like to give it a try!
Print:Â Hollayy mollayyy we have been printing. We did 28 print projects in January, almost a print project a day, and we love it. We printed 2,500 business cards in January, a few cases of envelopes, three couples wedding materials, and lots more. We still have space for your project though! Up next on our radar are graduation invites. We can customize your invites and envelopes anyway you would like, just give us a call and let us know if there is something we can help you put into print!
Â
Store:Â We have some Burke merch in store right now and are all stocked up on sizes at the moment. We have a Burke long sleeve, a fun short sleeve, a small-town USA sweatshirt, and a basic Burke ball cap. We will be listing these on our website under the "Burke Merch" tab as well. We also have a new vendor in store that has a weekly list, shopping list and to do list to help you stay organized every day. Plus, lots of other cute fun stuff. Stop by and check it out.
A recycled saying but - here's to new stories to tell and memories to archive. Hope to see or hear from you soon :)
