This week's Isle of Wight County Press is out tomorrow (Friday, June 26) and it features our eight-page Isle of Wight Festival supplement, heatwave coverage and much more.
Friday's paper includes photos from the IW Festival last weekend, where we reported from all weekend - you may be able to spot yourself in the crowd shots!
There were also record temperatures for June on the Island this week and we have coverage of the ways Islanders (and their pets!) kept themselves cool in the sweltering heat.
We have our usual three pages of letter and opinion and eight pages of puzzles, as well as all the latest news from the courts and across the Island.
Pick up the County Press in shops from tomorrow morning.

Local democracy
Local Democracy Reporter Rufus Pickles has been hard at work reporting on local politics and planning this week.
Among the stories he has been working on are the plans to transform a club into a 'family hub', complaints over an abandoned car in Ryde and the register of interests for the new IW Councillors elected in May.
Where we've been
Here are just some of the places we have been since last Thursday: Magistrates' Court, IW Festival at Seaclose Park, Sandown Esplanade, Shanklin Esplanade, Ryde Town Council, Quackers in Shanklin, Farmhouse Fayre in Newport and all over the Island for breaking news.
