The past year for Watershed Voice was eventful to say the least, and while we plan to have more on that later with some Year in Review pieces to start 2023, our staff needs a break to rest, recharge, reflect, and refocus in anticipation for the year to come.

We want to be here for the long haul, so we’ll be concentrating on increasing capacity in the new year, which means hiring staff writers, and raising the money needed to do so. You may have already noticed that Beca Welty penned some non-“Bites with Beca” content this week in the form of two Three Rivers City Commission pieces. When the calendar changes from December to January you can expect more of that, and we’re over the moon about it.

With all that said, we’re going to take it easy for the next week to spend time with friends and family, eat some super tasty and not necessarily healthy food, and take all of the naps, so we can be something resembling fresh for our biggest year yet.

So happy holidays, ya’ll. Stay safe out there.
