Almanack Contributor Editorial Staff

Getting information about what’s happening in your community is essential during any crisis, including the current COVID-19 pandemic.

Because of that, we at the Almanack encourage you to submit press releases, news tips and any other information about important things happening in your community.

Has your Farmer’s Market made changes to make it safer during the pandemic like the one in Saranac Lake, where you can now pick up your groceries in your car? Do you have a program that will help small businesses in your community? Came across a list of restaurants still open for business in your area you’d like to share? If so, let us know by sending us an email to [email protected].

In addition, we encourage you to submit stories about how you’re getting through the crisis individually.

We’re here to help you get the word out. Send us an email at [email protected]
