GROESBECK JOURNAL TO HOST AN OPEN HOUSE ON THE AFTERNOON OF HOMECOMING

The Groesbeck Journal will have a homecoming open house on Friday afternoon, September 14 from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. The open house will be held at the longtime home of the Journal office, 115 N. Ellis Street.

During the Journal’s 125th anniversary celebration on June 30, 2017, tours of the Journal’s facility were given. Explanations of the how the remarkable lineo-type machines worked were given, and even though they are no longer used the Journal still has two line-o-type machines in-house as well as the very old press that once printed the Journal for many years.

These activities will be repeated during the open house, and folks may also glance at some of the old Journals. Refreshments will be served.

Journal staff members Jennifer Paul, Alexandra Cannon and Madelyn Reagan will be present as well as retired editor-publisher Tom Hawkins.

All homecoming visitors, as well as the home folks, are invited to come by the Journal office on Friday, September 14, from 2 to 4 p.m. and enjoy the Journal building, visitation, memories and more.
