Good morning, Grants Pass.

Registration is open for Lemonade Day, a program where young entrepreneurs design and run lemonade stands with a business plan.

The event will take place Saturday, Aug. 8 from noon to 3 p.m. across Grants Pass, organized by the local Chamber of Commerce + nonprofits.

The Malarkey — a modern steakhouse by Oregon-born chef Brian Malarkey — is set to open later this month in Portland's Pearl District pending final approvals.

The 10,000 sqft venue will offer Pacific Northwest flavors and creative dishes, inviting Southern Oregon diners to a memorable culinary experience.

Local financial experts advise working families to reduce high-interest debt, boost skills (through vocational training or certifications), and build emergency savings before investing steadily in diversified funds to secure long-term financial stability amid rising living costs across southern Oregon.

Local diners across Southern Oregon are spending more cautiously as rising living costs force them to plan each restaurant visit (including those in Grants Pass) deliberately.

Restaurants are adjusting menus and takeout options to offer value amid easing inflation and continued tight household budgets.

Today, clear skies and warm afternoons offer residents ideal conditions for outdoor fun, yet dry air adds wildfire risks.

Over the week, expect highs into the 90s and busy travel on popular recreation routes (residents are urged to follow fire guidelines).

The City of Grants Pass reminds residents to clear parked vehicles and bins from scheduled zones for street sweeping happening between 7:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. to ensure crews clean curbs effectively (call 541-450-6110 with questions).
