If you have looked into your mailbox expecting to see a copy of the January 6 issue of the Tribune and found it missing, you are not alone.
Due to the many complications and staffing issue from the historic snowfall since the paper was printed last Wednesday, in-county subscriber copies of the Tribune didn’t get to the Post Office on time for the usual Thursday delivery. Most copies made it to the post office today, Monday, and should be in mailboxes within the next day or two. Ronald, Easton and Thorp will be dropped off as soon as we are able to safely send staff to those locations. We apologize for the unprecedented delay, and appreciate the kind understanding of everyone who has called about their missing papers.
In the meantime, we have stocked most of our store and vending box locations, and our online version is available for immediate purchase here.
