Forward Together

The New Year has wasted no time making itself known—marked by a flurry of arrests and seizures across both counties, an outpouring of generosity for local causes, and, sadly, the need to say goodbye to friends who helped shape the Comstock we know today. As both a resource and a record for our growing community, we want to pause and say thank you. Without your support, your ideas, and your willingness to share your stories, this paper simply could not exist.

Before long, our winter nap will end and the world will once again descend upon our historic hills. With that in mind, I have a feeling 2026 is going to be a very good year to tell stories—and I’d like your help doing it. Consider this a friendly call to action: The Comstock Chronicle needs more local voices.

We’re looking for community members interested in volunteering to write about local events and happenings throughout the year—folks who enjoy writing, taking photos, asking questions, and talking with their neighbors. Prefer to support from home? We could also use help gathering online “intel” for our Events & Entertainment Calendar, managing Facebook content, and spotting stories worth telling. Being a contributor is not meant to feel like a job; it’s a chance to learn more about the place you call home, share what’s happening around you, and help preserve a living record of our time on the Comstock.

Thank you for continuing to read our printed pages and for helping us grow our digital footprint. I always welcome your questions, comments, and story ideas—or inquiries about getting involved—at editor@thecomstockchronicle.com.
