Our Specialty Publications
The Journal also publishes special sections throughout the year.
In the spring, we publish a special tabloid-sized publication for the King George Home & Craft Show which is held the first weekend in March. The section has information about the home show, the exhibitors and crafters. It is inserted in The Journal the week before the show and is also handed out to all the visitors to the show. The Home & Craft Show is one of the big events in King George. At the end of the winter, area residents have a chance to get out and check out the vendors, see all sorts of crafts and catch up with their friends and neighbors while they enjoy lunch at the Show.
