The 100th Edition!

Today marks an important occasion for the Souris Valley Flyer! I can't believe that today is the 100th edition. My first edition came out on May 3rd, 2021, that article was about fundraising for the Hillcrest Museum, I had done a bug spray fundraiser with Avon and donated $310 and then Brittany Parham was selling town apparel and was able to raise $850. Also, the Woodfire Deli was doing latte art as a fundraiser at the time. There was a fire ban and town-wide yard sales had been postponed due to covid. At the bottom of the back page, there was a picture of a moose that was seen around town and then a picture of Stay N Play packages on the back as well.

It is so crazy to look back at this very first article and see how far I have come in 2 years. I've tried a few different things I have kept and some not. I have had lots of different members advertising with the flyer in the past and some now too.

These Souris businesses are what have kept me going and I thank you for the support! There were a few times I thought about ending the flyer due to low views, no real income, and low responses online but I have stuck with it and I am so glad I have because it continues to grow with each passing month!

Something that the flyer is known for is the yearly calendar, people submit Souris photos and I create a calendar with them and add in Souris events as well right in time for Christmas. I also have done a couple of cover photo contests, where people send in their Souris pictures and I will use the winner as the cover photo on the Facebook Page for a while, I think another one will have to be soon! And the last thing is a kids Christmas coloring contest with a Minary Bakery donut prize.


Over the 2 years, I have changed the look of the printed flyer a couple of times until I settled on the one I like currently and I did a complete website look change last year as well. I hope to continue to keep learning and growing!


But the biggest takeaway from the flyer for me has been the other opportunities it has opened up. Not too long after I started posting flyers I was reached out to join the Peacock Days and Fair Committee, and that opened up a whole new world for me in this great town of Souris. I thank you all for coming on here to support the flyer and to find out the latest going on in Souris
