Not having a Beacon February 5th because of a printer foul up was not anything planned for. When the Beacon was first started in 2018 it was printed every other week, and the same pattern was repeated some in 2023 and again first half of 2024.
To continue successful operations, at the time those patterns were a necessity. The work required to build, create, and operate the Beacon was such that producing the printed version on an every other week basis was the needed schedule.
It is taken as a complement when folks are mad, or disappointed when they don’t get a Beacon.
For the first time since starting the Beacon in 2018 we have a family commitment that will prevent us from having a printed Beacon on February 26.
There will be an online edition as, we will be attending son John’s “Welcome Home from a year with the National Guard in Iraq” and his 50th birthday party. Return to print the next week.
Thank you for your most appreciated support of the Belle Fourche Beacon!
