VOLUME 4, NUMBER 202
Saturday, September 16, 2023
Good afternoon. In the newsletter today: Coaches and players know it wasn’t perfect but Philomath High’s football team was still able to take care of Cottage Grove on the road Friday night, 41-17. Also, I have a Three Things column that includes items on Munk Davis and his first book, a heartwarming gift to a local shop and a short preview of Philomath Open Studios. On another note, happy 90th birthday to Doyle Hughes!
Thanks for reading!
