The Neatest Little Paper Ever Read

Greetings! My name is Michelle Reed,

publisher, editor, layout and design, advertising sales, print and bindery 

operations, delivery as well as website content and social media editor. 

Or, in other words, I get to wear many hats! I have been in sales and marketing 

for most of my adult life with an extensive background in advertising and 

promotion.  I started out in this industry as a sales representative for another 

paper, Tickles and Bits that was published by Tom Dodd of Silverthorne, 

Colorado until he opted for retirement in 2019 and at that time offered to let me 

have the rights to publish my own paper here in Northwest Colorado, which I 

thought would be a fun project to have, and so Tickle Times News was born! 

Things went along pretty good until the dreaded COVID pandemic struck and 

the distribution system for TT went to the wayside as the paper was distributed 

exclusively on restaurant tables everywhere - however with no indoor seating 

being offered during the pandemic, I realized that the paper would have to be 

distributed some other way.  I attempted to contact Tom to get his input and/or 

advice, but sadly I learned that both he and his wife, Kelly had passed away. So 

I turned to the oh-so-reliable internet for direction.  While searching, I was lucky 

enough to come across the Tidbits News website and I contacted them and TADAA! 

here we are  years later still going! My passion is doing whatever I can to help

local businesses grow and thrive.
