Front Page Fills ~ This Week in History

2001.01.072
The Grande Prairie Hotel was located on the south side of Richmond Avenue, between 100 and 101 Street.

Even with two newspapers in town, it is difficult some weeks to find something interesting. This week, the Frontier Signal’s entire front page was a write up about the Agricultural Exhibition and prize winners. The Oct. 6 edition of the Herald is missing. So I thought this would be an opportunity to use some “front page” items I have collected from various papers. These news articles give new meaning to the term “slow news day”!
