Good morning, folks! Welcome to SGF Sunday, our version of the hefty Sunday newspaper of days past. But with a modern twist.
Yesterday, we introduced SGF Weekend, our Saturday newsletter packed with stories about the outdoors and recreation, along with ideas for Things to Do in and around the Ozarks.
But weekends are also meant for settling in and reading in big, cozy armchairs. That's why our Sunday newsletter includes some of our best in-depth stories in a section called Long Reads, where you'll find the kind of deep reporting we've built our name on.
Also, look for the latest Steve Pokin columns, Sports stories, fresh opinion columns in our Voices section and a special obituary to honor those we've recently lost in Lives Remembered.
