Good morning, Philomath.
The community’s traditional transition into the holiday season occurs Friday with the Christmas Tree Lighting event at the museum. In a Warrior Watch sports column, I take a look at OSAA realignment and preview Tuesday’s boys basketball pie auction. The School Board filled a Budget Committee seat. Plus, the latest BCSO Log. — Brad Fuqua, Publisher/Editor
