Democrat plans holiday edition

WEATHERFORD — This year, as a service to our readers and advertisers, the Democrat will publish a Thanksgiving Day edition. However, offices will be closed Thanksgiving Day to allow our employees time to spend the holiday with their families. The paper will reopen Friday at 8 a.m. and resume its regular schedule.

“This is new for our newspaper,” said Steve Boggs, publisher of the Democrat. “It’s a special edition that will be available early Thursday morning in single copy locations across Parker County. We’re getting the newspaper to carriers Wednesday evening, so readers can expect the Thursday edition in their driveways first thing Thursday morning.”

The Thanksgiving Democrat will be chock full of special inserts, as well as holiday story offerings, including essays from local students writing what Thanksgiving means to them.

In addition, third graders from Weatherford ISD submitted their own special recipes for making turkey.

“There’s no mail service Thursday, so if local retails are looking for a way to reach a captive audience, this is the perfect venue. Folks are home waiting for the Cowboys to kick off and planning their Friday shopping outing, and the Democrat will have a everything they need to get started,” Boggs added.

The Air Force Academy recently graduated their first openly gay cadets. What does this signify?

Nothing. There have always been gay cadets, they just haven't been open.
A step backward. Sexual orientation issues shouldn't be a part of the military.
A step forward. The military needs to be open to people of all backgrounds.
No opinion.
