Good afternoon. In the newsletter today: We have a preview of this week’s PYAC carnival, which is scheduled for Friday at Clemens Field and serves as one of the organization’s biggest fundraisers. Also, we have the latest Philomath PD Log and Philomath Fire and Rescue Calls and news briefs on some other upcoming events. If haven’t read the story about 24-year-old Raina Dominski’s fight against terminal cancer, please give it a read. You’ll find it below in the “In Case You Missed It” section.

Thanks for reading!
