True North Magazine hits Central Oregon!

I swear, if you took an x-ray of my body, you'd see fragments of this magazine floating around in there. It is my blood, sweat, and tears, in the flesh. And 8,000 copies are being distributed throughout Central Oregon this week. Have you ever wondered what 8,000 magazines looks like? Here's half:

2. Where can I get one? (The answer: local family-friendly businesses, restaurants, schools... keep an eye out. It's like a big scavenger hunt!)

James, the True North Business Manager, and author of "Dad's Corner," is hand-building these awesome stands for a few businesses, so keep an eye out for them:

Finally, here's a glimpse of one of my favorite spreads in the magazine. Go out, pick yourself up a copy, and look for the Ethni portrait session giveaway somewhere in the 64 pages!
