The Observer celebrated its 25th anniversary in 2021, right smack in the middle of a lockdown due to a global pandemic. In such a year of extraordinary challenges, it’s the loyalty and support of our advertisers and newspaper readers that helps maintain our commitment to keep the community informed.

Despite whatever 2021 has thrown our way, it’s the happy moments with loved ones that make it all worthwhile, and we hope you feel that way too.

We wish you a Merry Christmas, and may your Happy New Year be among the best ever. All the best in 2022 from your local community newspaper.

Joe Merlihan, Steve
