Country Register Founder, Barbara Floyd,

Retires from Active Publishing....

Farewells need not be sad, and in this case, it isn’t really farewell, but hello in a different way. On February 4, the papers were signed selling my five publications to two of my long time employees—Barb Stillman and Lolly Konecky— which means I am no longer a Country Register publisher.

This may sound like an Allstate commercial, but I have left you in good hands! Barb has worked side by side with me for nine years and Lolly for six years in my home office in Phoenix. They have formed a partnership and will now publish The Country Registers in Arizona, Oregon, Washington (including S. Idaho) and Nebraska and also The Antique Register in Arizona. I will still be closely connected to these papers as well as every Country Register in 44 states and 4 Provinces as the licensor of each publication. I founded the very first Country Register in Arizona in the fall of 1988. I do love to write so you will no doubt hear from me from time to time.

There still remains opportunities with The Country Register in the states of Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Hawaii, and Alaska. Ontario, Canada is available after having a well established paper there for many years.If you are interested just email us: info@countryregister.com or call 602-237-6008. Publishing in this digital world does take many skills that were not required years ago for becoming a publisher. It also takes a passion for this kind of work which includes sales, service, bookkeeping, editing, and lots of creativity.

Niche newspapers are in demand and serve a great purpose. Good advertising is always in style! We love our readers and our advertisers. It is the advertisers who make this free publication available in 44 states and 4 provinces.
