Good morning, Grants Pass.

Grants Pass Park Watch held a meeting yesterday at 2:00 p.m. at the Grants Pass Shopping Center to plan Kid’s Day in the Park as volunteers delivered materials marked with Letter 501 to local businesses.

The group will have its final booth at Growers Market next Saturday — it will then move on to the Frog-O-Fair and work with officials on park cleanup projects.

Grants Pass offers scenic views, outdoor fun, and a mild climate that draws in newcomers.

However, residents face local political debates and rising housing costs—factors that sometimes create a cultural divide in town.

Fire season started Sunday for Jackson and Josephine Counties with open burn rules and low fire danger under IFPL 1—local agencies have begun preparing to respond to any outbreaks.
