Meet Anthony Around Town

Meet Anthony Around Town

 

Anthony is a freelance writer for our local newspaper. He writes about current events or traditional news topics but his main focus has turned into doing profiles on people in our town (their businesses and experiences) and sharing those stories with the paper. It was a great way to roll his love for writing, people, and the city of Elko all into one! Thus, Anthony Around Town was born!

And guess who had the privilege of being interviewed and featured on his blog!!  You guessed it ….Kandi Anderson Photography. I was so honored. Thank you again, Anthony, for the shout out and sharing the love and passion I have for my business! Spending a short time with Anthony it was evident the love he has for people and truly has an interest and heart for mankind.

The goal of Anthony Around Town is to share the stories and experiences of the people in our community with the people in our community. He wants Elko to learn more about and grow in appreciation for the people who call this place home. Every Friday he’ll publish a profile of someone(s) locally. He’ll share stories from people in our town from all walks of life. One week, it may be a city representative or small business owner the next it may be a garbage man. Everyone’s story matters. Maybe we’ll feature your grandma, your mailman, or even you!

I love Anthony’s philosophy! “Everyone has a story. Even you! You may not think it’s very interesting or exciting, but you didn’t just wake up one day and end up where you are. Your whole life has been a journey of relationships, experiences, struggles, joys, and learning. Your story has shaped who you are. The stories of all the people in my area have shaped who my city is”.

So if you have a story, contact him and let our little community hear about your someone special!
