Good morning, Philomath.

The Community Easter Egg Hunt hosted by the Frolic returns to the rodeo grounds this year and we have a preview of what to expect. A city committee plans to meet this week to possibly make decisions on temporary art that will go up in the downtown area. The boys volleyball team rolled over Newport last night and we have a story and gallery. Plus, the latest Mount Union Stories is online. In partner content, Oregon Capital Chronicle reports on Pacific Power raising its rates.

Editor’s note: Results from yesterday’s boys and girls tennis matches were not available this morning before the deadline for this newsletter. Check online later today or see tomorrow’s newsletter. — Brad Fuqua, Publisher/Editor
