This week's Isle of Wight County Press is out tomorrow (Friday, May 8) and it features our 16-page pet supplement, picture spreads and much more.
The paper, which hits shelves tomorrow morning, has photos of your pets which you submitted. Unfortunately, we couldn't feature them all, but there are hundreds to enjoy in our special insert.
We also have picture spreads of Dame Kelly Holmes's visit to parkrun, and the Isle of Wight Ultra Challenge, where participants set three new records.
This week's edition also features the latest from the courts, our regular venue in the spotlight and three pages of letter and opinion.
Pick up the Isle of Wight County Press from tomorrow in shops.

Here are just some of the places we have been since last Thursday: the Isle of Wight Gold Cup final at Beatrice Avenue, Magistrates' Court, Fort Victoria meeting at Freshwater Memorial Hall, Coroner's Court, Adgestone Vineyard, Ryde Boating Lake, polling stations across the Island and all over for breaking news.
