​Spring 2021 Issue

The theme of the Spring 2021 issue will be "Your Favorite Movie or Book and Why?". During this unprecedented "stay at home" year, some of us have spent a little too much time in front of our TVs watching some of our favorite movies, over and over. With commute times cut short, others have had time to read or re-read cherished favorites. Tell us which movies make you stop whatever you're doing, plop on the couch with a big bowl of popcorn or which books you just can't put down.

As always, please feel free to send us your photos, stories/essays, poems, whatever you would like to contribute to the Runner.

Due date for submissions is April 15, 2021.

Don’t forget to send your newsy items — graduations, degrees, marriages, births, etc. - for our Talk of the Acres section.
We look forward to hearing from many of you!
