Town Life Celebrates Its 13th Anniversary

Thirteen years have passed since I started Town Life magazine and I am happy to see White Bear area readers continue to warmly welcome us into their homes.
Publisher
Town Life is published quarterly by Town Life, Inc., a corporation owned by Catherine Carey. The magazine is not affiliated with any other publication though it is now distributed through the White Bear Press.
White Bear: A History
Catherine Carey is the author of “White Bear: A History,” which is in bookstores now. The coffee-table history book is filled with unique stories and beautifully-restored photographs of the people who shaped our community. The book’s photographs, maps and illustrations have been expertly reproduced in four-color and duotone. White Bear: A History was published by White Bear Township to commemorate its 2008 Sesquicentennial. White Bear originally encompassed White Bear Township, White Bear Lake, Gem Lake, Vadnais Heights and a portion of North Oaks. The early years of all these communities are carefully chronicled in this keepsake history book.
Town Life Magazine
Town Life is proudly displayed in the best homes throughout the community. More than ten thousand families enjoy articles about local events, people, history, politics, education, recreation, environment, and arts and entertainment in addition to colorful cartoons.
Local Talent
All of Town Life’s artists, writers and photographers live in town. Those interested in contributing to the magazine should contact us via email: careycabal@aol.com; regular mail: Town Life, PMB 150, 4707 Hwy. 61, White Bear Lake, MN 55110-3227; or telephone (9 a.m. to 5 p.m., M-F): 651-292-9343. Samples of an artist's work should be included at the time of inquiry.
Philosophy
Town Life believes in providing readers with professional journalism with a hometown focus. We especially enjoy covering the people who enrich our schools, arts, environment, recreational opportunities and businesses. The magazine promotes a healthy lifestyle and does not accept advertising from bars, liquor stores, smoke shops or adult-oriented businesses. We reserve the right to reject any advertising that we feel isn’t a good fit for our publication.
Distribution
The magazine is delivered to 10,000 homes in the White Bear Lake area. Another 500 copies are sold via retail stores and online subscriptions. We encourage those who enjoy Town Life, but do not receive the magazine, to subscribe online. The magazine is not a free publication distributed to all residents within the White Bear Lake area. It is supported entirely by advertising and online subscriptions. Please do your part and subscribe today. We’re counting on your support.
Deadlines
Town Life is printed four times a year. Deadlines for story ideas, advertising and calendar events are February 10 for the Spring Issue; May 14 for the Summer Issue; August 5th for the Fall Issue; and November 4th for the Winter Issue.
Contacting us
Readers are encouraged to submit story ideas, photographs and calendar items of local interest. Story ideas may be submitted via email (careycabal@aol.com); letter (Town Life Magazine, 57 Wilkin Street, Suite 2, St. Paul, MN 55102); or telephone (651) 292-9343 (9 a.m. to 5 p.m.). Calendar items and press releases must be submitted in writing.
Advertising
Town Life’s specialty is promoting local businesses. Since many small business owners do not have their own in-house graphic artist, we are happy to design their ads for free. Advertisers buy space in the magazine (they do not buy content) so their ads cannot be shared with other publications. To advertise,
please call (651) 292-9343.
The Next Issue
We’re already planning our next issue and hope to include your story ideas and advertising. Thank you, again, for welcoming us into your home. The best is yet to come.
