Happy Tuesday, readers! It's a beautiful Tuesday with great weather, and the best part is that we have color back in this week's print edition after nearly a month in black and white. It feels wonderful to be colorful again.
In this week's edition, we look back at the Memorial Day ceremonies, dance the night away at Live at The Plaza with all the Swifties.
Carson kicks off the month with June Days, and a family reunites for a home coming reunion.

Happy Cinco de Mayo, everyone. We hope you all have a great day.
Unfortunately, due to a problem with the printing press, we had to go retro this week and go black-and-white on the front page.
Hopefully, they will be up and running next week. In the meantime, we have plenty of news to share with you in color or not, all right here in black & white.
This week, we look at who received the Key to Canton, kick off the Opera House Plaza Summer Concert Series, and share how Dickson Mounds is seeking your opinion. Plus, discover how a single pair of pants can make a difference. You can read all this and more in this week’s issue of The Fulton Democrat, available now at newsstands, online, or through home delivery.
