Editor's Letter
Happy New Year! I hope you had a blessed and relaxing holiday season.
We’re starting the new year at Show Me The Ozarks Magazine with a big change. Starting with the January issue, we will no longer print the magazine. Instead, you’ll find all the great content, contests and events you originally found on the pages of the magazine at www.showmetheozarks.com, and on Facebook and Instagram. We’ll update the content several times throughout the month so you always have fresh new articles about the residents and businesses of the Four States Area. If you want to ensure you don’t miss any articles, sign your email address up at www.showmetheozarks.com to receive new articles via email each week (we won’t ever sell your email address).
Articles in the January 2026 issue include our cover story, “Joplin’s Howard Nunnelly Strikes Gold at Country Music Association Awards,” “Medical Loan Closet of Joplin Helped Over 2,000 People in 2025,” “Financial Reset 2026: A Fresh Start That Actually Works” and “Local Influencer Dusty Thunder Reaches 1 Million Online Followers,” just to name a few. Watch all throughout January for all the great content we have planned!
Thank you for being a part of the Show Me The Ozarks family!
Sincerely,
Wendy Brunner, Publisher/Editor
