VOLUME 7, NUMBER 146
Tuesday, July 7, 2026
Good morning, Philomath.
It’s Frolic week and we have a preview of the upcoming celebration, which includes three nights of action in the arena and several activities. To see a complete schedule of the event, scroll down to the bottom of the story. Later today, I’ll be posting a preview story about the Philomath Classic Car Show. In public safety, we have the latest Philomath Police Log and a rundown of the Philomath Fire and Rescue Calls. I also wrote a news brief about a fundraiser rummage sale coming up July 10-11. In partner news, we have an interesting piece on the struggles of the psilocybin industry in Oregon. — Brad Fuqua, Publisher/Editor
