Dear Neighbor,
With Thanksgiving behind us, we at the Crier head into the final month of 2025, grateful for the journalists who work for our community in the name of honest storytelling and sharing the news with you each week. In our issue this week, we will revisit some of the most read articles in 2025.
As we head into the first days of December, and Giving Tuesday today, we hope you will spend some time perusing the stories we’ve shared with you earlier this year. Reach out and tell us what you think, and what you’d like to see more of in the year to come. Perhaps you’d even like to report on a subject important to you and submit an article for consideration for publication in the Crier. We always welcome articles from community voices like yours.
And if you’d like to help the Stratford Crier grow and provide even more informative, interesting, and entertaining articles, please consider a contribution, today on Giving Tuesday, a one time donation, or become a monthly sustainer, we welcome and appreciate your support and readership all year round. Happy December!
