Walton Sun?

I'm not sure, but I seem to recall someone saying that it was now be distributed by the people who deliver the NWFL Daily News which is a subscription paper. With the noticeable lack of ads (ie- money) in the Sun, lately, if they are not paying people to distribute it to each resident, it is understandable, as that has to be pricey.

Is the Walton Sun still being delivered or have they stopped and I missed it? I haven't gotten a paper in weeks and I'm going through a tough time with my Saturday morning rituals.

Sometimes I get one and sometimes I don't. Call 863-1111 and let them know.

I've gotten one every Saturday until today. No Sun. And I'm a daily subscriber to the NWF Daily News.

They did not deliver on our street in Blue Mountain today. So Yogi the chocolate lab and I walked down to the nearest yellow Walton Sun box to pick one up.

They had papers in the box...but they were last week's edition...

I've always found delivery to be spotty. In my neighborhood east of Eastern Lake, they reliably deliver to every vacant vacation rental two streets over, but never on my street which is 60% permanent residents. Go figure.

I long ago gave up and found a yellow box in a small strip center which doesn't run out of papers nearly as quickly as the ones at the Thumb or Seagrove Market.

Either that or I pick up one from one of the vacant rentals.

My paper was delivered this morning about 10.

Thanks to all for the info...I'm going to call and/or visit the yellow box. It's understandable that they are seeing tough times just as the rest of us are. I'll be happy to bike to get a copy.

GRS, it appears you have a personal problem w/Sun. Just sayin' :roll:

Online edition still dated October 15th. ???

Apparently there was some confusion regarding ownership of the Walton Sun. It is not owned by the Panama City Herald.

It is owned by Freedom Newspapers out of California, who also happen to own the Ft. Walton Beach Daily News, The Destin Log AND the Panama City Herald.

I used to have a good dog that fetched the paper. If they missed delivering to my house she would go to the nearest neighbor and bring me theirs.

I had a wonderful Lab that would do the same thing--except she would not stop at one! Fortunately, the neighbors saw the humor in her behavior.

I've looked at six different locations for the Sun, and found no copies in the yellow boxes, nor at the Library (sw annex). Was there a copy printed at all last Saturday?

We had some brought to our office in Grayton. I thought they had given up delivering altogether we havent gotten one at the house in months.

Yes there was one issued last Saturday. It was the most fact filled issue ever. Full of insight and intellect.:roll:

Last Saturdays Walton Sun came a day early for some reason. I normally have to grab mine at my store on Friday night when the guy delivers very late. We have a yellow box at our store, Blue Mountain Liquors, and I know there is also one across the street at the Health Food Store if ya'll are looking for one. The delivery guy told me he is just putting about 10 or less in each box these days. Agh!

Since there circulation has decreased tremendously, I wonder if the cost of the ads have also decreased tremendously. ???

Excellent question.
