Our Story

The non-profit community newspaper was founded in 1997 as a means of communicating within our local area. We mail to every household in Fairview, Gerton, most of Reynolds and half of Fletcher, North Carolina. Fairview is a thriving rural community bustling in organic farming, the arts, and down-home goodness. What we lack is a town square, which is why we have the Town Crier.
