Introducing a new feature for The Escalon Times in 2018, each month we will feature a special ‘Blast From The Past’ page on the third Wednesday.

This month, we offer a glimpse back into 1983, 35 years ago. These items, including a couple of ads, news stories, sports and more, were taken from the issue of Wednesday, Jan. 19, 1983.

Look for this new feature each month. We will use a variety of items and pull from different years, offering a look back at the pages of The Times.
