Good morning, Philomath.
The Philomath Frolic and Rodeo’s two-day Holiday Craft Fair will take over Philomath Elementary this weekend and we have a preview. PHS will host the Oregon West cross-country championships on Saturday and the Warriors should be in the running for high honors. Plus, we’ve posted the latest BCSO Log. In case you missed it, the volleyball state playoff story was updated with the announced start time — the Warriors will face Madras at 3 p.m. Saturday. — Brad Fuqua, Publisher/Editor
