Artistic supper club. Boy wins cow.
Judge sides with GOP. Tears at the track.
ANNOUNCEMENT: We go behind the paywall Monday July 21.
Thank you to all our readers who have made the launch of the Dispatch a wonderful success. We soft-launched June 16, and already can boast thousands of pageviews a day. Thank you!
(If only pageviews were enough…)
We are a self-owned, subscriber-based news outlet. We have pledged daily news from the Spa City 5-7 days a week, but we need this to be a community project — right now, a paid subscription is less than $1/week, significantly less than a cup of coffee at Uncommon or Walt Cafe!
Readers who buy an annual subscription by Sunday July 20 get a 13th MONTH added to the 12-month paid membership! Take advantage of this one-time offer created just for our launch!
(We will add the month to the people who have already paid for an annual subscription, too!)
We also have corporate and small group subscription rates. Contact editors@saratogadispatch.com for more information on how you can play a crucial role in ensuring access to a free and local press for all.
