The Magazine of the Pennsylvania Mountains
& New York Finger Lakes

HELLO,

Welcome to Mountain Home, the monthly magazineof the Twin Tiers andbeyond, with 40,000 copies distributed at more than 400 popular places each month. I’m the editor of Mountain Home, and here’s who we are, in a nutshell.

An Award-Winning Magazine. Mountain Home won five KeystoneAwards from the Pennsylvania Newspaper Association in May2007 for best sports and outdoor writing, best food writing, best profiles, andbest writing, period, of any weekly or monthly in the state of any size, including The Philadelphia Business Review, the Central Penn Business Review, and all the weeklies in Philadelphia and Pittsburgh.

A National Reputation. Lee Kravitz, editor of PARADE (65 million readers), says, “Mountain Home is fabulous. Nobody stands up for good writing like Mountain Home. And it throws its heart and soul into its region.” Our vision is that readers crave positive local stories with classic storytelling and art, and a comprehensive web presence
Beloved by Our Readers. Dr. Edmund Guelig of Laurel Health System in Wellsboro says, “Mountain Home is a fantastic magazine. It reminds me how beautiful our area is, and it gives me hope – it’s a great public service.” Ask about our rave testimonials from all age groups across our region.

A Partner with Our Advertisers. At Brookside Homes, the large regional homebuilder in Selingsgrove and Mansfield, they’re used to customers coming in the office with Mountain Home magazine, pointing to their full-page full-color ad featuring a $180,000 home, and saying, “I want this one!.” We serve the small advertiser, too, like “Mama Biscotti” in Sayre, who says advertising with us made her business, and changed her life!

The Largest Readership. Our readers pick up Mountain Home at Bilo, Wegmans and other grocery stores, popular restaurants, gas stations, hotels, motels, visitors centers and tourist bureaus. You’ll see our racks in the front entrance of Wal-Mart from Mansfield to Watkins Glen, in Acorn markets, and more than forty Dandy Mini-Marts in New York and Pennsylvania. We also have subscribers all over the country who miss home or own second homes here. No other area publication is so widely read.

The Biggest Bang. Whether you’re a large regional advertiser or the corner candy shop, we reach the most readers at the most affordable price for the biggest bang for your buck – the most readers in Tioga County, PA, our home base; the most readers across the Northern Tier, and the most regionally from the Finger Lakes to Montoursville. Research shows that five people read each copy of a monthly magazine, and our readers go further than that – they save Mountain Home as a keepsake. Typically, less than 1 percent are returned, and we put those few copies out later – and people still pick them up even a year later, read them and save them.

Local Owners You Can Trust. I grew up in Tioga County, PA, attended Wellsboro High School and Dickinson College, was the restaurant critic of Philadelphia magazine and author of two books, and moved back home with my husband, Mike Capuzzo, to publish Mountain Home. Mike graduated from Northwestern University, was nominated for the Pulitzer Prize four times as Philadelphia Inquirer writer, and is the author of five books including the New York Times-bestseller, Close to Shore. We own Mountain Home with well-known Philadelphia lawyer George Bochetto, the former state Boxing Commissioner under Gov. Tom Ridge.

Best Regards,
