VOLUME 7, NUMBER 139
Friday, June 26, 2026
Good morning, Philomath.
With the Frolic and Rodeo coming up, the city pushed through an amendment to its lease agreement with the organization to tackle questions such as ownership and insurance. The ’80s exercise craze appears to be returning with a special ribbon-cutting celebration Monday at Philomath City Park. Skip Jones and the Spirit of New Orleans will be playing at Sunday’s Music in the Park. Incoming senior Wyatt Coen will serve in the student position on the Philomath School Board. The Rotary Club will holds its “Changing of the Guard” meeting next week. In today’s partner content, the Oregon Journalism Project reports on the latest with Prosperity Council and how it has issued a challenge to the governor. — Brad Fuqua, Publisher/Editor
