It may come as a shock to members of Gen Z, but there was once a way to communicate with others before the days of social media.

If there’s any segment of our society that should be most concerned about young people leaving Wyoming after high school or college and not coming back, it’s business owners.

Dear Editor,

I recently shared this story of our visit to Saratoga to my social media account, and someone suggested offering it to the local paper.

The backstory:

This week, the final series of a story on fire mitigation runs and I hope you have read them. If not, take the time to go back to the last three issues and read them.

I learned so much, and thought it was important to pass on to our readers in the Saratoga Sun. I got to know people I haven’t met before and watch them as they talk about doing jobs they love.

Fall is here and so are those cooler evenings. I imagine you’re looking for a little something to warm your bones. Did you know that, along with the leaves falling, it’s also pepper-picking time in the Valley?

To the citizens of Saratoga and surrounding area.
