A jam-packed 20-page Press-Herald next week. There was too much stuff going on to fit it into 16 pages! Look for:

  • a report from the all-candidates’ forum in Unity held Oct. 6;
  • a letter to the editor that outlines what you need to vote;
  • some information – but no definite answers – on the strong smell in town earlier this week; and
  • a suicide survivor shares her story in hopes of helping others.

Then there’s a story on local companies making the Saskatchewan top 100 list, the RCMP report, a Warriors’ football update and more. You’ll even want to read the ads because there are a lot of fall specials and upcoming events, including the start of the fall supper circuit.
