VOLUME 4, NUMBER 115
Good Evening. It’s Friday, May 19, 2023
It’s a late one today, my friends, with a full day of activities to cover, a few interviews to get done, a baseball game to be played and a couple of stories to put together, including one on the equestrian team. I covered state tennis this morning and PHS junior Bailey Bell has advanced into the semifinals (Story to come on Saturday). Tomorrow morning, don’t forget the Memorial Day/Armed Forces Day/Peace Officers Memorial Day event at the cemetery. Plus, there’s district track in Sweet Home and the PHS Hall of Fame banquet tomorrow evening.
Thanks for reading!
