Hello and happy Fourth of July! I hope your holiday was as happy as ours was.
Like many of the people in our corner of Eastern Oregon, we got out and enjoyed family, friends, music, fireworks and more.

Erick Peterson/Hermiston HeraldHello and happy Fourth of July! I hope your holiday was as happy as ours was.
Like many of the people in our corner of Eastern Oregon, we got out and enjoyed family, friends, music, fireworks and more.
If you saw the latest print copy of the Hermiston Herald, or visited us online, you would've seen pictures and stories of recent events, including Hermiston's firework show, Stanfield's Independence Day fun and Umatilla's Saturday market.
Our coverage wasn't all fireworks and picnics, however. One of our more serious stories was on Morrow County's local state of emergency, related to well water contamination. Also, we included a story on a lawsuit against the Hermiston School District.
Looking ahead, next week is lining up to be the same sort of mix of positive and negative stories. Stick with us, though, and we'll survive the coming weeks together.
Bye for now.
