Fire Restrictions
Fire restrictions went into effect Monday on the Willamette National Forest, including wilderness areas.
All campfires, charcoal or briquette fires, pellet fires, and any other open fires are prohibited outside of designated recreation sites or campgrounds. Portable cooking stoves, portable gas campfires, and lanterns using gas, jellied petroleum, pressurized liquid fuel or propane with an on/off switch are allowed in areas cleared of flammable vegetation.
Campfires are still allowed inside fire rings at most developed campgrounds and other designated recreation sites.
Smoking is also prohibited, except within a building or vehicle, developed recreation site, on the water, or in an area cleared of flammable vegetation.

America At 250
America’s history is the story of all of us.
As the United States commemorates 250 years since the signing of the Declaration of Independence, the Museum of Natural and Cultural History, 1680 E 15th Ave. in Eugene explores how museum collections help preserve the diverse histories of this place.
On Thursday, July 23, from 10 am to 8 pm and Friday, July 24, from 10 am to 5: pm “America at 250-Before, Between, Beyond ” will feature rarely seen items, that invite people to reflect on where they have been, who they are, and what America might yet become.

Colin Trio
Less of a trio and more of a triple-headed hydra roving through an alluring array of genre-blending styles, The Colin Trio is anything but typical. Set to perform from 6 to 9 pm at the McKenzie General Store in McKenzie Bridge, the band is named after lead singer, guitarist, keyboardist, Colin Hogan.
Listeners would be hard-pressed to name any specific member of the trio as Lead. Whether it’s Colin’s knack for slipping in and out of musical eras with ease, or bassist Brian Link’s adeptness with any groove, or drummer Cheo Larcombe’s ability to start at the flick of a match, watching The Colin Trio performing live is said to be “akin to three improvisational masters besting one another at every turn between a cavalcade of Rock, Soul, Jazz, Funk, and the Blues.”
