Once again we’ve forgotten to celebrate the launch of The Millstone, back in June of 2011.
From modest beginnings as an online blog — meant to fill the large gap left by the closure in 2009 of the Almonte Gazette, which served our community for 140 years — our volunteer-run community paper has more than doubled its readership every year since. As of June 2016 we surpassed 20,000 readers a month, who view over 100,000 pages.
We want to thank our readers for your many comments — nearly 6,000 to date — on the stories we publish, and to give particular thanks to our contributors and columnists, all of whom donate their time and talents to the paper. Without you all there would be no Millstone.
We remind readers that we’re always on the lookout for news, reviews, photos and anything else of interest to our community. Keep sending those to us at millstoneeditor@bell.net.
