For a real family heirloom, there is also the limited and exclusive leather-covered edition, with a numbered gold-colored nameplate, available for $81.19, including sales tax. Only 50 of the leather-covered books will be printed. Because of the established number of the leather-covered books being printed, the full payment is due at the time of order.

As stated, pictures for the book will be accepted thru Aug. 11.
“The real story of Palacios and the local area, including Blessing, Collegeport, Deutschburg, Caranachua, Ashby, Pheasant Switch, etc., is out there. It’s in scrapbooks, photo albums, stored away boxes and trunks,” says book editor Bert West. “We are looking for photos that show people, places and things that will get people talking about how things have changed or how they have remained the same. Every family has a story to tell and we want to tell that story through pictures.”
A large number of pictures from the early 1900s through 2000 have been received, but more, including recent years, are welcome.
Each photograph submitted must have the contributor’s name, address and phone number on the back and be attached with as much identification of what and/or whom is pictured, plus the year or approximate year photo was taken. Informational sheets are available at the Beacon office.
For those who cannot drop off their photographs at the Beacon, they can be mailed to the above 453 Commerce address. All pictures will be returned, undamaged, after the books are printed.
