The Reader is celebrating our rather surprising
17th anniversary. Starting with little more than one good
 idea and $1000 in July of 1997, we somehow came up with
a 36 page newspaper in twenty days flat, and distributed
8000 copies throughout Duluth and Superior.
 Since that illustrious day, we have continued charging
 (and stumbling) forward, always striving to educate,
irritate, and entertain you, our loyal reader.

With that in mind, we would like to invite you to share
in our good fortune. Please join us on Friday July 25th
at the Historic Wade Stadium in West Duluth, and then, join us after the game at G.B. Schneiders for appetizers and a nice
complimentary beer from Lake Superior Brewing. Reader Readers, bring in the Secret Passcard you found on page 8 in this issue
 to the Reader tent for a pair of general admission tickets
 to that nights Duluth Huskies game.  

Game time is 6:30 pm, and we are also giving away plenty of swag including: A brand new Mad River Adventures canoe from our good friends at Spring Creek Outfitters, 30 pairs of tickets to the Minnesota Renaissance Festival and lots of other booty
we haven’t quite sorted out yet.

We would love to have you stop by and meet us. 

We will begin registering people for the giveaways starting at 5 pm.

Please join us, and check here for more late breaking developments.

Thank you for your support.
