When I was growing up in the early 1980s, we had a weekly newspaper in our town. There was a woman assigned to cover our little neighborhood. I remember her calling each week to ask my mother what was new in our family. Did Jeremy make the honor roll this quarter? Had we gone on vacation recently? Did we get a new pet? She would take this information from anyone in the neighborhood who was willing to share it and would write a column each week. When the paper came out on Wednesdays, my mother was always excited to read what was going on in the neighborhood. Everyone on our street knew each other. We played outside with the kids every day until dusk. My parents were in a bowling league with our neighbors. We had a block party in the street in the summer. When a new family moved in everyone welcomed them and introduced themselves. I guess you could say it was a great community.

Hello to everyone in the community! I am Samantha Godfrey and I am one of the Sales Reps for the Minnesota newspapers now owned by CherryRoad Media. I am mainly located in Montevideo, MN, but I cover Crookston, Granite Falls, Cottonwood, Redwood Falls, and Sleepy Eye.

I’m Kelly Hosek and I’ve been living in Montevideo for 16 years; I grew up just a town over. I’ve worked for Montevideo American News for almost 7 years and have seen a lot of change and transition. The one thing that hasn’t changed, is that I am and will always be, a small-town girl. Being a part of Montevideo American News has allowed me to be a real part of the community and get to know my community members. Working with our business customers has allowed me to know my community in a very personal way.
