I’m at the MO Press Association convention this weekend. There are sessions and candidate debates, plus the awards luncheon tomorrow afternoon. Found three award-winning Democrat photos in a row on the contest display! (Chris Howell on top, @flbemiss bottom two)

@NicoleRCooke It looks so empty and sad 😞

All that’s left of my old office, and tomorrow the desk is being picked up by someone taking it to a new home. Two weeks left until 700 S. Massachusetts is no longer ours. I haven’t worked in here for more than a month, but still seems weird.

Here we go - last @SedaliaDemocrat run in the Sedalia pressroom.

Congrats to this year’s Rookie Reporter of the Year, Faith Johnson! A great writer and reporter for the Tiger Times who had many of her stories published in the Democrat over the last four years.
