Two weeks ago, on Thursday, Aug. 5, we held our 1st birthday party, to celebrate the milestone of starting the Riverbend News and becoming a part of this community. What a fun ride the last 12 months have been by being a part of these three wonderful counties (Suwannee, Hamilton and Lafayette)! Not only have I reconnected with so many "old" friends from my younger years, but I have made so many new friends that will last me my lifetime.
Although it was a rainy afternoon and evening, we had so many local citizens come gather with us to eat and fellowship. We had friends that we have known for years come to celebrate with us and we had brand-new friends stop by to meet us and to introduce themselves.
It was a great turn-out and we were all reminded that friendships that last for years are few and far between, but those are the friends you know will always be there by your side; and new friendships are always bountiful when living in small hometowns and that's what makes life here so wonderful.
So, we thank you, our faithful friends and patrons, for helping us grow bigger and stronger over the last 12 months and we hope to become bigger, better and even stronger through the upcoming years.
"Bringing Local News Home."
Proudly serving Suwannee, Hamilton, Lafayette, Madison and Jefferson Counties.
