Saw your countdown to Paducah and was interested in the blocks listed as free. Was able to get to the site, but when I tried to use the Print Friendly button, it would only show the first page of the post. No directions, etc. Is this working? Or is it something on my end that needs adjusting? I am a member, so, I don’t think that is the problem.

Hi Agnes, If you are having difficulty printing, you might try saving the post as a pdf using the print friendly button, then printing the pdf. Thanks, Betsey
