Federal offices to close for national day of mourning

Posted

President Joe Biden has declared that Jan. 9 will be a national day of mourning, coinciding with the state funeral for President Jimmy Carter, who passed away on Dec. 29, 2024.

Carter, who served as the 39th president of the United States, was 100 years old.

Federal offices, including the U.S. Postal Service, will be closed in observance of the day, and flags are being flown at half staff for 30 days in honor of Carter.

With the postal closure, SUN subscribers will see a delay in receiving the Jan. 9 issue of The SUN in their mailboxes. 

Additionally, delivery of The PREVIEW will be delayed.

However, those who receive the e-edition of The SUN will be able to access the paper digitally at www.PagosaSUN.com as normal on Jan. 9 and The SUN will be available throughout the community on newsstands.
