The Chrisman Leader

08/13/2024

After further consideration, we've decided that this week's edition of the Chrisman Leader will be the last. Thank you all.

07/30/2024

After much consideration, we would like to announce that the Chrisman Leader is for sale and Lientz Publishing will publish the last edition on August 30th. We truly appreciate the support we've been shown through the years and want everyone to know this decision wasn't taken lightly. It is our wish that someone will purchase the Leader and continue it's publication. Our family wishes you well, but it is time for us to pursue other business endeavors.
