No paper next week

Wednesday, December 25, 2013 — Issue 234

BRATTLEBORO — The Commons will suspend publication for a week so our staff and contributors can recharge their batteries, enjoy the holiday season, and otherwise gird themselves to produce a good newspaper for you in 2014.

The next issue will be dated Wednesday, Jan. 1 and distributed one day early, Dec. 31.

Deadline for news and advertising is Friday, Dec. 27.

All of us at Vermont Independent Media and The Commons offer readers best holiday wishes in these waning days of 2013. See you next year.
