We’re thankful for you, readers

Happy Thanksgiving to all of our readers. The staff here at the Ozark County Times is thankful for each and every person reading this edition, as well as all community members who submit news and photos that allow this publication to continue recording the history of Ozark County each week. 

 The Times office will be closed Thursday and Friday, Nov. 27-28, for the Thanksgiving holiday. Staff members have delivered copies of today’s edition to the post offices, area stores and other vendor locations on Wednesday, as usual, but mail subscribers may receive their newspapers a day later than normal due to the post office’s closure on Thanksgiving Day.

News and advertising deadlines for the Dec. 3 edition of the Times will be 10 a.m. Monday, Dec. 1. To report news during the holiday, contact Jessi Dreckman at jessi@ozarkcountytimes.com or call the office at 417-679-4641 and leave a message. All calls will be returned on Monday morning. To place an ad, email jenny@ozarkcountytimes.com.  

A black drop box is also located outside the front door of the Times office on the south side of the Gainesville square. Payments can be left inside. 

Most businesses and offices will be closed on Thursday. Many local offices will also be closed on Friday.
