Volume 3, Number 87
Good Morning. It’s Wednesday, July 20, 2022
If you’re sitting around the house on Saturday with nothing to do, you have three options as far as special events. You can start at 11 a.m. at Newton Creek Park with the Shipley historical marker dedication, head over to the museum for family day activities (actually, it begins at 11 a.m. and runs until 2 p.m.) and then enjoy Sip & Stroll Philomath, which runs for four hours beginning at 3 p.m. In my mind, it’s OK to enjoy some wine, beer or spirits as long as I’m getting in my steps.
Thanks for reading!
