Ahh my old friend summer..there you are

Happy (almost) summer!

Newspaper delivery days call for ball caps

Popping back in with a little blog update because… summer is here and we are buzzing with sunshine, stories, and a whole lot of projects in the works at the Gazette and around Burke.

I also want to thank everyone for your patience and kindness during recent mailing delays with the newspaper. We know it’s frustrating when the paper doesn’t arrive on time — and we appreciate you sticking with us, calling in, getting a new online subscription, and offering grace while we work through things with the postal system. Your support means everything, and we’re so grateful for our readers who keep cheering us on.

A mini catch-up on what we’ve been up to lately:

• We wrapped up another school year and cranked out some super sweet graduation invites

• We stocked the shop with fresh Burke merch just in time for summer (hello ball caps and brighter colors)

• We’ve been working behind the scenes on some fun design projects for area businesses, weddings, and events

• And we’ve officially kicked off summer event mode — lots of fliers, postcards, and schedules going out the door

Newspaper:

This week’s paper is fun! Featuring a story on Weary Young who visited all 50 states, and a film that was shot right here in Burke and Gregory County. Do you have a human-interest story that would be fun to feature? Send it our way! If you’re not getting our email version (in full color on Tuesdays), now’s a good time to hop on. Just send me a message and we’ll get you subscribed.

Greeting cards made and printed at the Gazette

Print:

A new season is on the horizon, and we’re already deep in wedding season and prepping for the Burke Stampede. Print projects are rolling out fast — business cards, menus, invites, programs, and custom projects. We love being part of your milestones. Need something designed or printed this summer? Come see us — we’re happy to help bring it to life!

Store:

Burke merch is fully stocked and ready for river days, bonfire nights, and everything in between. We’ve got:

• A summer short sleeve all about Burke

• Burke ball caps

• Our classic “BURKE” long sleeve (perfect for cool evenings!)

Plus, the cutest weekly planners, notepads, and stationery goodies from our favorite vendors.

Swing by, say hi, and check out all the new things. ☀️

Here’s to long days, late nights, and lots of sunshine. Hope to see you around this summer!

Read On,

Chloe Kocer
