KWSO Calendar for Sat., Jul 3, 2021

Warm Springs Tribal Council is asking the community to use caution with fireworks.  They ask that everyone utilize one of two locations for fireworks displays: the Community Center and the Simnasho Long House Parking lot. Please do not light fireworks at other locations due to the high temperatures, lack of water, and a high potential for fire due to extreme dryness and drought. A safe and happy 4th is the goal – Let’s all stay hydrated and do our part in keeping the community safe.

 The 25th anniversary of the Todd Memorial Run is tomorrow in Madras.  There is a 6 mile walk, 5K run, 10K run and a 2 mile fun run.  Proceeds go to the Todd Beamer Memorial Scholarship. Online registration is now closed so you will need to register day of the race.  Learn more at MAC REC DISTRICT dot COM
