Albany News visitor guide getting magazine-style upgrade

The Albany News will debut a new and improved fall/winter visitor guide this year, shifting from its traditional square, newspaper-style format to a more polished magazine-style publication.

Publisher David Waller, who played a key role in developing the latest Abilene visitor guide, is bringing that experience to the Albany edition. The new guide will aim to highlight the events, history, places, and businesses that make Albany a destination worth visiting.

The guide is scheduled for release in late September or early October. Ad director Lynsi Perry is currently reaching out to previous advertisers to renew their spots in the publication. Businesses and individuals interested in being included are encouraged to contact Perry by September 14 at advertise@westerntrailmedia.com or by text at 325-238-6128.

“This new guide will be a great way to showcase Albany,” Waller said, “and to celebrate the events, history, and businesses that make this town special.”
