The first-ever Elberta Alert logo tee, in beautiful 100% recycled fabric, can be yours for just $20 ($15 without shipping). Help support deeply local media! All proceeds go directly into producing more free newspapers and great stories online.

To celebrate, we hereby announce the Doing Wacky Things in an Elberta Alert T-Shirt contest. Submit your photo (let’s keep it somewhat family-friendly, people) with a caption identifying the wearer(s) and the activity, if it’s not abundantly clear, to elberta.alert@gmail.com. Your photo may be posted on the Alert site. The winner will receive … another shirt, in the size and color (navy or charcoal) of your choice.

To get the ball rolling, here’s Chuck denHeeten of Mt. Pleasant, looking like he just read something eye-opening in the paper.
