Story Round-Up: Features in The Herald-News, May 22 through May 27


A blur of a week, tring to meet holiday deadlines and looking beyond to a short work week next week. (say those last five words very fast).

Not gonna lie, looking forward to some extended R&R and fiction-time!

In the meantime...

Check out the health, faith, and arts and entertainment calendars. Three of them can be found at the link below. http://www.theherald-news.com/lifestyle/ Gotta Do It, runs each Sunday and often stays on the home page through the week.

Feature briefs for Tuesday (health), Thursday (faith), Friday (Arts and Entertainment), and Sunday (People) are also edited (texted and photos) by the lady of this blog, but only the stories have bylines.

Another option: I do post the briefs and calendars on Twitter during the week, so you're welcome to follow me at @Denise_Unland61.

And if you do peek at these stories, to quote our editor Kate Schott, "Thank you for reading The Herald-News." :)
