As part of our ongoing commitment to bringing you all the good stories about the people, organizations, and businesses in town, we will be producing a series of Good Stuff guides about services, products, dining, shopping, seasonal things we do like home and garden improvements and weddings, to dining out and shopping, and other areas of interest across the city. These Good Stuff guides will allow us to bring much more depth to each area, not only during that specific week that each specific Good Stuff newsletter release, but as ongoing growing sections of the site that we will be building upon so we keep bringing you the all the Good there is to hear about in Valpo.
Here are some of the upcoming mid-week issues that we will be producing. We would like to hear from people, organizations, or businesses that serve the community in any of these areas as they will represent a very targeted opportunity to tell your own story about Good Stuff that you provide. We also encourage you to share with us additional Good Stuff subjects that we can be bringing to you whether that be in your personal, family, school, worship, business, entertainment, shopping, or sports area of life.
All Good Stuff. Your Good Stuff.
