LEWISTOWN — The Sentinel is seeking photos and brief articles for the upcoming edition of Juniata Valley magazine. The theme for 2026 is “Patriots” in honor of America’s 250th birthday.

Patriots are individuals who serve or have served our nation and our communities. They exemplify the American Spirit. Patriots could be active-duty military or military veterans, community service members, police, firefighters, emergency responders, teachers, coaches, public servants and many other walks of life. Their patriotism could be displayed locally or anywhere across the globe.

If you would like to submit an article or photo of a patriot, please follow these guidelines:

Email submissions only.

Jpeg images preferred.

Include image details (names, locations, dates) and a brief reason why the individual is a patriot to you.

Note: Details and brief articles must be included in the body of the email or as an attachment in Word document format. Images must be personal photos (cannot be from websites or other publications or an image that would violate copyright laws).

Email to: tlaub@lewistownsentinel.com.

The Sentinel reserves the right to edit all submitted material. The deadline for submissions is Monday, Jan. 12, 2026.
