Main street in Amsterdam is alive tonight with vintage and classic cars and trucks, all part of the Second Saturday festivities held each month. And yes, cruise night on the second Friday will happen into this Summer. Come on out!
The stats above were provided by Google showing that the Mid America Live website has received over 7 million hits since its inception in July of 2010. In all, we've made 57,409 posts in that time and combined with Facebook, the website reaches folks from all around the area very close to 100,000 times a week.
First, we'd like to say thank you to everyone who appreciates our work- it's not easy to keep up with everything going on but we try our best.
Second, the addition of the News-Shopper newspaper just over 5 years ago reaches the balance of those who are not online, adding at least another 10-15 thousand pairs of eyes each week.
Since all of our services are free to the public, we get paid through advertisers and to them, we want to express thanks for your support as well.
That said, if you advertise here, we offer the most reach in the area which is primarily an 8 county or so region. For as little as $10 we'll get the word out! Want to know more? Call 660-492-8758 or drop an email to midshopper@gmail.com.
One more time, thank you!
