Local Events
The Front Porch prints a “Local Events” section each month. Submissions for local events will be run at no charge subject to space available and our determination of interest to readers. Event information should be emailed to FrontPorchEvents @ gmail.com in the format shown below and received by the 15th of the month prior to publication. The paper is distributed during the first week of the month, so events during that week should be submitted for the prior month.
Date in numerical format (mm/dd), day of week– Name of Event. A one- or two-sentence description. Time. List cost or if free. Location. Contact information.
Press Releases
Press releases should be sent to FrontPorchStapleton @ gmail.com.
Article Submissions
We appreciate submitted articles and consider all that fit with our mission as a community paper (written by people who live in our distribution area and/or are about people, events, non-profits or new businesses in our distribution area). Articles should be sent to FrontPorchStapleton @ gmail.com.
Articles of interest to a broad range of readers that are well-written and informational or insightful are run based on space available, though they are often held until there's room in a future issue. Anything that is time sensitive must be sent by the 15th of the month to be considered for the upcoming issue. Articles should be concise and length may vary based on content, but we generally suggest articles shouldn't exceed 700 words. Articles may be edited by the Front Porch based on space available. Nothing in the article can be written in a way that promotes a specific business, but the author should include a short "bio" statement at the end that lists his/her qualifications on the subject and contact info if readers want further information.
