Tonight's activities are nixed

Due to the oncoming bitter cold temperatures, tonight's B-B-E school activities have been cancelled. This announcement was made shortly after 11 a.m. today. Also, B-B-E schools is closed for Friday, January 23. The Friday evening activities have all been postponed.

The Post Office continues to lose my newspapers. For 6 straight days this past week, the Post Office failed to deliver my Willmar/Benson/Spicer/New London newspapers. Multiple subscribers from those communities all received the January 15 issue in today's mail. In November, the Post Office did the same thing the week before B-B-E's fall two-act play took place.

I'm not sure if we can keep the business going when our product is not delivered on time to our subscribers. It is killing us when our advertisers can't get their marketing messaging to the public in a timely fashion. If you add it all up, what this does is make the newspaper an unsustainable business venture.
