NOW AVAILABLE
April/May 2026
A Breath of Fresh Air

As the world wakes and the sun shines brighter, we’re stepping outside and savoring a fresh change of scene.  

 

In addition to our free online feature that celebrates the beauty of dark skies, our print issue highlights local artist Molly Mae, the nonprofit Dragonfly Coffee, and ways oxygen is revolutionizing physical therapy.  

 

We also bring you travel and day-trip ideas, local history, a fresh recipe, and so much more.  

 

Please also join us in welcoming our new Editor-in-Chief, Beth Hautala. Meet her on the “About Us” page.  

 

Enjoy! We’re glad you’re here.
