2008 Look-Back: It pays to read the Gazette

To say the least, 2008 has been a transition year for Linglestown Gazette, with this blog going from a barely perceptible blip on the local Internet scene to a daily must-read destination for a steadily growing following.

One thing that has spiced things up a bit this year was a series of contests. Things kicked off in March with a Name-That-Street Contest and ended with the awarding of a huge pile of loot to the winner of the world’s first-ever Mowing Contest.

The year also included a pair of Trivia Contests (click HERE and HERE), a gift certificate giveaway to St. Thomas Restaurant, and a raffle sponsored by Linglestown Fire Company that netted a $1,000 Visa gift card for a Gazette reader.

For those of you who missed out on the fun this year, don't fret – more contests are on the way for 2009.
