  • Ads are due on or before May 1st; any questions about your headshot or ads should be directed to our printer, Mike, at sdmpinc@qwestoffice.net.
  • We are auctioning off an ad for the back cover which will be in color.  The minimum opening bid is $300, just $105 more than the cost of a regular ad. If you are interested, send me an email with your offer any time prior to midnight July 1st. The winner will be determined by the email date and time if there is a tie.
  • Make sure that you have a costume and a short statement describing it. (i.e. Good evening, my costume represents the beautiful lakes of the state of Minnesota. From Twin Cities, I am Carl Schway).
