Today marked my three-year anniversary at the ShowMe Times. Tomorrow I will continue to embark on my fourth year of adventures, and I couldn’t be more excited about where the ShowMe Times is headed. There will be some exciting news and innovative developments waiting around the corner that I can’t wait to share with all of you. Just keep following the ShowMe Times for the latest and greatest!
Having come from a completely different background with my previous career I never imagined or even dreamed of doing work like this, but Alan Hedrick showed me a new avenue of “work”. I have truly enjoyed taking photos and writing articles about our great community, our schools, and our local businesses.
There is never a moment when something is not taking place in one of our Stoddard County towns. Tonight I had the pleasure of attending the “It’s a Wonderful Life” event at the Stoddard County Courthouse in Bloomfield. It was truly a magical evening listening to Christmas songs and drinking hot chocolate! It is a wonderful life that I have and I am truly blessed!
Thank you to everyone who has supported the ShowMe Times and those who will continue to make the ShowMe Times the best positive news source in southeast Missouri. I could not have done it without the wonderful people of Dexter, Bernie, Bloomfield, and the surrounding areas. Without your support the ShowMe Times would not be so popular.
One of our milestones this year was that we reached 5,500 LIKES on our Facebook page! Our Twitter account and our website have tons of traffic as well. Believe it or not I have taken more than 250,000 photos over the past three years and hope to continue into 2016.
With my three year anniversary comes another very special anniversary for ShowMe Times. We will be celebrating our 5th year online on February 1, 2016. I can remember introducing myself to people and some had never heard of the ShowMe Times. Now I rarely run into someone who hasn’t heard of us.
Looking to the future I am extremely pleased and excited about the New Year ahead. It’s my hope that 2016 will be even better and more electrifying than ever.
From our home to yours have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! I will see you at the next event with camera in hand!
