Volume 3, Number 119
Good Morning. It’s Saturday, September 3, 2022
Despite Philomath’s loss last night, it was great to see football again at Clemens Field. The team had a rough start but it’s a long season so we’ll see how they can respond next week up at Putnam. I spent some time out at the rodeo grounds this morning as the chili cook-off folks get ready for their big Sept. 11 event. It should be the biggest one ever this year. Look for that story over the next few days.
Thanks for reading!
