ROSEBURG, Ore. - Downtown Roseburg was filled with activity Friday evening as residents visited local businesses, sampled food and drinks, viewed artwork and listened to live music during the latest Fifth Friday event.

The Roseburg Receiver and The Roseburg Plug walked along Southeast Jackson Street and through other parts of downtown, capturing footage as visitors moved between participating businesses, vendors, artists and entertainment locations.

Held from 5 to 8 p.m., Fifth Friday included more than 30 shops, restaurants, food vendors, musicians and artists. Businesses remained open later than usual, with many offering refreshments, promotions, pop-up vendors or other special activities.

Rather than taking place in one central area, activities were spread throughout the downtown district. Streets remained open, allowing visitors to park and explore participating locations at their own pace.

Businesses Partner Throughout Downtown

Collaboration between businesses was a major part of the evening, with downtown shops sharing their spaces with local authors, artists, beverage makers and other entrepreneurs.

Yours Truly Bookshop hosted an author signing along with a wine tasting by Melrose Vineyards. HomePeople’s Goods welcomed The Bubblin’ Bear inside, where specialty drinks were served during the event.

Those partnerships gave visitors an opportunity to learn about multiple local businesses during a single stop. Throughout downtown, shops hosted pop-up vendors, demonstrations, samples and other activities intended to introduce visitors to what local businesses make, sell and provide.

Outside Gallery Northwest on Southeast Jackson Street, local artists and vendors displayed original artwork and handcrafted items along the sidewalk.

Muralist Chris Schake also created a live painting during the event, giving visitors an opportunity to watch the artwork develop in real time.

Live Music And Food Add To The Evening

Live music was featured at North Forty, Little Brothers Pub and The Rosebud Theatre, adding performances at several points along the downtown route.

The Real Gone Trio performed at North Forty, while The Rosebud Theatre hosted The Flicks, a tribute to The Strokes, with SawBasket.

Food trucks were also stationed behind Umpqua Homes on Jackson Street, while restaurants and participating businesses offered food, refreshments and samples throughout the evening.

The combination of shopping, food, artwork and music encouraged visitors to continue moving through downtown rather than gathering at only one location.

Vacant Storefronts Become Community Art Displays

The Vacant to Vibrant project was also represented during Fifth Friday at the corner of Southeast Jackson and Washington streets.

Visitors could learn about the project and help create additional “Portraits of Community” artwork for the installation.

Vacant to Vibrant transforms empty storefront windows into temporary public art displays. Its first installation, “Portraits of Community,” features handmade self-portraits created by local residents, artists and students using paper, yarn and found materials.

The initiative is sponsored by Thrive Umpqua and The Longest Table, with support from Umpqua Valley Arts. Artists Julie Bailey and Rachelle O’Brien helped launch the project as a way to bring color and activity to vacant commercial spaces while encouraging community participation.

Bringing Downtown Together

Fifth Friday is organized by Eric Andrews through Origami Creative Co. LLC and (re)Discover Downtown Roseburg, in partnership with participating downtown merchants.

The event is held during months containing five Fridays and is intended to encourage residents to shop, eat and spend time downtown. It also gives businesses an opportunity to remain open later, collaborate with one another and introduce customers to artists, vendors and other locally owned companies.

Friday’s event demonstrated how businesses can share spaces and audiences to create a larger downtown experience than any single location could offer on its own.

The next fifth Friday falls on Friday, Oct. 30.

ROSEBURG, Ore. - Rogue Credit Union is expanding its support of Umpqua Community College through a new five-year partnership centered on the college’s new track and field facility.

The partnership, established July 14, will support the development and operation of the facility, which will be known as the UCC Track & Field Complex Sponsored by Rogue Credit Union.

College officials said the facility is intended to serve not only UCC student-athletes, but also schools, youth organizations, families and community members throughout Douglas County.

“Rogue Credit Union has been a valued partner to UCC and our students for many years,” UCC President Rachel Pokrandt said. “This expanded partnership reflects a shared investment in Douglas County.”

Pokrandt said the track will provide a new competition venue for student-athletes while also creating a welcoming space for youth programs, community events, recreation and other activities.

“We are grateful for Rogue’s continued commitment to youth, families and education,” she said.

The agreement builds on an existing relationship between Rogue Credit Union and the college. Rogue currently operates an on-campus student branch and provides classroom-based financial education. The credit union also participates in a co-branded student debit card discount program.

Rogue has supported UCC Athletics through game-day activities and promotional giveaways and has regularly sponsored the UCC Foundation’s annual Legacy Ball.

The new track and field complex is expected to host collegiate athletics, K-12 competitions, youth programs, campus events, community recreation and regional gatherings.

Rogue Credit Union President and CEO Matt Stephenson said supporting the project aligns with the organization’s goal of investing in the communities it serves.

“We’re excited to help create a space that will inspire students, welcome families and provide opportunities for people throughout Douglas County to gather, compete and stay active,” Stephenson said.

UCC plans to celebrate the grand opening of the track and field facility on Saturday, Aug. 29.

The event will include activities for all ages, a community ribbon-cutting ceremony and opportunities for visitors to explore the new facility. Additional details about the celebration will be announced at a later date.

ROSEBURG, Ore. - A section of Douglas Avenue will be closed for most of the day Tuesday, Aug. 4, as crews complete tree trimming near the Deer Creek Bridge.

The road will be closed between Ramp Street and Rifle Range Road from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. Drivers are encouraged to use alternate routes, allow additional travel time and follow posted traffic-control signs in the area.

According to the City of Roseburg, the tree trimming will clear space for fiber-optic and other communication lines to be relocated. The utility work is part of the preparations for the Oregon Department of Transportation’s planned replacement of the Deer Creek Bridge in 2027.

The city thanked residents and motorists for their patience while the preparatory work is completed.

Questions may be directed to the Roseburg Public Works Department at 541-492-6730 or pwd@roseburgor.gov.

ROSEBURG, Ore. - The midway will light up, livestock barns will fill with activity and thousands of visitors will return to Roseburg this week as the Douglas County Fair opens Wednesday.

The 2026 fair will run from Wednesday, Aug. 5, through Saturday, Aug. 8, at the Douglas County Fairgrounds, 2110 SW Frear St. This year’s theme, “Fair, Fun & Freedom!”, recognizes America’s 250th birthday while continuing the agricultural, entertainment and family traditions that have made the fair one of Douglas County’s largest annual gatherings.

Four Nights Of Headline Entertainment

Bull riding will open the fair’s nightly entertainment schedule at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday in the grandstands.

The remainder of the week will bring three national recording artists to the fairgrounds amphitheater:

• Thursday, Aug. 6: Aaron Lewis at 7:30 p.m.
• Friday, Aug. 7: Tone Loc at 8 p.m.
• Saturday, Aug. 8: Niko Moon at 8 p.m.

Headline entertainment is included with regular fair admission. Reserved concert seats and a new standing-room VIP pit area are available for $30, in addition to fair admission.

Entertainment Throughout The Fairgrounds

The nightly shows are only part of the entertainment planned during the four-day event.

DockDogs will bring canine dock-jumping competitions to the fair, while performers scheduled around the grounds include fire dancer Jodie Smalley, Arty the Circus Drummer, Lessa the Hula Hooper, The Bubblesmith and comedy stunt performer Matt Baker.

Visitors will also find Master Gardener exhibits and demonstrations, a model railroad exhibit, bingo, local musicians, a senior talent show, a diaper derby and other performances on the Garden Park Stage. Those attractions are included with fair admission.

Youth And Agriculture Remain At The Center Of The Fair

Although rides and concerts draw large crowds, 4-H and FFA programs remain central to the Douglas County Fair.

Young exhibitors have spent months raising animals and preparing projects for livestock shows, judging events and displays throughout fair week. Competitions involving cattle, swine, sheep, goats, horses, poultry, rabbits and other animals will take place in the fairgrounds’ livestock areas.

The annual Junior Livestock Auction will begin at 4 p.m. Friday in the Beef Ring. Purchases made during the auction support participating youth and their agricultural projects.

Open Class exhibits will also showcase work submitted by Douglas County residents, including photography, fine art, quilts, woodworking, crafts, flowers, baked goods, preserved foods and garden produce.

Douglas County’s fair tradition dates to an agricultural fair held in Oakland in 1860. The current fairgrounds property was purchased in 1944, and the first official fair at the site was held in 1945. Dougy, the logger statue that greets visitors near the main entrance, has served as the fair’s mascot since 1965.

Carnival Rides And Fair Food

Rainier Amusements will operate the carnival midway with rides ranging from the Giant Wheel, Freakout, Kamikaze and Vortex to the Tilt-A-Whirl, carousel, Super Slide, children’s coaster and several smaller rides.

Carnival hours will be:

• Wednesday: Noon to 10 p.m.
• Thursday: Noon to 10 p.m.
• Friday: Noon to 11 p.m.
• Saturday: 11 a.m. to 11 p.m.

Unlimited ride bracelets, which include two games, are available for $35 through Tuesday, Aug. 4. The price increases to $45 when the fair opens Wednesday. Each bracelet is valid for one day.

Food vendors will offer a mix of traditional fair favorites and other options, including barbecue, fried bread, fried ravioli, Hawaiian teriyaki, Mexican food, Korean corn dogs, churros, kettle corn, shaved ice and Umpqua Dairy products.

Admission And Daily Specials

Regular admission is $10 for adults and teenagers ages 13 and older. Children 12 and younger receive free admission throughout the fair. A four-day pass is available for $40.

WINCHESTER BAY, Ore. - Douglas County commissioners recognized the service of local U.S. Coast Guard members and the people who preserve one of the county’s most recognizable coastal landmarks during a special presentation in Winchester Bay.

Commissioners Tom Kress and Tim Freeman issued proclamations Wednesday, July 29, recognizing National Coast Guard Day and National Lighthouse Day and Week. The ceremony was held at the Umpqua River Lighthouse and Coastal History Museum.

Commissioners called on Douglas County residents to honor Coast Guard personnel and recognize the historical and cultural importance of lighthouses.

“On behalf of the Douglas County Board of Commissioners, I want to express our sincere gratitude to the dedicated men and women of the U.S. Coast Guard serving in North Bend, Coos Bay and at Umpqua River,” Kress said. “Your professionalism, sacrifice and unwavering commitment to protecting our waterways and coastal communities do not go unnoticed.”

Kress also thanked museum employees and volunteers who help operate and preserve the Umpqua River Lighthouse, Coastal History Museum and surrounding grounds.

“This incredible facility is a true gem for Douglas County, and it continues to grow as a destination that educates, inspires and connects visitors to our coastal heritage,” Kress said.

National Coast Guard Day is observed annually on Aug. 4, marking the date in 1790 when President George Washington signed legislation authorizing the construction of 10 revenue cutter vessels. Those vessels were created to protect the young nation’s revenue and became part of the foundation of what would eventually become the U.S. Coast Guard.

The modern Coast Guard was established when President Woodrow Wilson signed the Coast Guard Act into law on Jan. 28, 1915.

Today, the Coast Guard protects ports, waterways, coastlines and maritime infrastructure while responding to emergencies, safeguarding natural and economic resources and protecting national security interests.

Freeman presented proclamation certificates to representatives from Coast Guard Station Umpqua River, the Coast Guard Aids to Navigation Team in Coos Bay and retired Coast Guard personnel.

Those attending included Station Umpqua River Boatswain’s Mate Senior Chief Petty Officer Jared Merloro, Executive Petty Officer and Boatswain’s Mate Chief Petty Officer Jonathan Corcoran and several Station Umpqua River crew members.

The Aids to Navigation Team was represented by Chief Boatswain’s Mate Jeremy Bossinger, the officer in charge, and Machinery Technician First Class Donavan Carley.

Guests also watched a special flyby by an MH-65 Coast Guard helicopter participating in a training mission from Coast Guard Air Station North Bend.

Coast Guard Air Station North Bend and Base North Bend support 153 active-duty personnel, nine reserve personnel and five civilian employees. Station Umpqua River, located in Winchester Bay, has 43 active-duty personnel and five reserve personnel. The Aids to Navigation Team in Coos Bay has nine active-duty personnel and one reservist.

The ceremony also recognized National Lighthouse Day, observed Aug. 7, and National Lighthouse Week.

The observance commemorates Aug. 7, 1789, when Congress approved legislation supporting the establishment of lighthouses, beacons, buoys and public piers across the United States.

The Umpqua River Lighthouse has stood above the Douglas County coast for approximately 130 years. The 65-foot lighthouse contains a distinctive red-and-white first-order Fresnel lens manufactured in Paris in 1890.

The lens includes 24 bullseye panels made from 616 glass prisms. It remains one of the lighthouse’s most recognizable features.

The Umpqua River Lighthouse is one of 11 historic lighthouses along the Oregon Coast that have helped guide mariners for more than a century.

Freeman presented proclamation certificates to employees and volunteers who help operate the lighthouse, Coastal History Museum, gift shop and café, art gallery and whale-watching station.

Douglas County Museum Director James Davis and several museum employees, tour guides and volunteers attended the presentation.

The commissioners gave special recognition to longtime volunteer Gaylyn Bradley, a former Douglas County employee who helped establish the museum’s programs and grounds after the Coast Guard’s final lighthouse keepers left the site.

Bradley has helped design exhibits, research and develop lighthouse tours, restore facilities, landscape the grounds and promote the Umpqua River Lighthouse and Douglas County museums.

“I happened to be working for the Douglas County Parks Department when the last of the Coast Guard lighthouse keepers left,” Bradley said. “I was recruited to help establish the museum, programs and grounds. It was a wonderful time in my life, and I thoroughly enjoyed it - and still do to this day.”

Members of the Fox family also attended the ceremony during a family reunion.

In 2025, Melanie Smiley-Ybarra donated a quilt honoring her family’s connection to the Coast Guard. The quilt was created by her mother, Lira Fox Hibbon-Owen, with help from other family members.

Smiley-Ybarra’s grandfather, Myron L. Fox, served at Coast Guard Station Umpqua River during the 1940s and 1950s. Hibbon-Owen grew up in the nearby Coast Guard barracks and recalled helping clean the lighthouse’s red-and-white glass prisms.

Other members of the family later served in the Coast Guard, continuing a multigenerational tradition of service. The quilt is now displayed at the museum as a tribute to that history.

Reedsport Mayor Linda McCollum, Reedsport City Councilor Cindy Wegner and representatives from Douglas County’s Salmon Harbor Marina and Facilities Department also attended.

Residents interested in volunteering at the county’s museums can visit the Umpqua Valley Museums website or call the Douglas County Museum at 541-957-7007.

Information about Coast Guard careers and facility tours is available by contacting Station Umpqua River at 541-271-2138 or Base North Bend at 541-756-9220.

ROSEBURG, Ore. - A major warming and drying trend will begin Monday across Southern Oregon, bringing several days of hot weather, periods of smoke and increasing fire danger.

The National Weather Service in Medford said a thermal trough and strengthening high pressure will cause temperatures to rise quickly. Monday will serve as the transition into the heat wave, with Roseburg expected to reach a high near 89 degrees under sunny skies.

Patchy smoke is expected to move into the Roseburg area Monday afternoon. Smoke is forecast to become widespread Monday night, mainly between 9 p.m. and 2 a.m., before conditions begin improving. Monday night’s low will be around 58 degrees.

North winds of 7 to 11 mph are expected Monday, with gusts reaching approximately 18 mph. Winds will become north-northwesterly Monday night but could continue gusting to around 18 mph.

The hottest weather is expected Tuesday through Thursday.

A Heat Advisory will be in effect for the Umpqua Valley from 11 a.m. Tuesday through 11 p.m. Thursday. High temperatures around Roseburg and other communities in central Douglas County are expected to reach approximately 96 to 99 degrees, with overnight lows generally remaining between 60 and 65 degrees.

Elsewhere in Southern Oregon, some inland valleys could reach or exceed 100 degrees. Temperatures between 100 and 110 degrees are possible in portions of the Rogue and Illinois valleys, while communities east of the Cascades are expected to experience widespread temperatures in the 90s.

Medford could approach a record high Wednesday, with the current forecast calling for approximately 106 degrees. Forecasters said there is also a small chance temperatures could exceed 110 degrees in Medford.

Some locations in Northern California could become even hotter. Somes Bar is forecast to reach approximately 113 degrees Tuesday.

The prolonged heat is expected to create at least a moderate risk of heat-related illness across much of the region. Some rural locations could experience major heat risk, especially if daytime and overnight temperatures increase beyond current projections.

People without access to air conditioning, older adults, young children and those working outdoors will be especially vulnerable. Residents are encouraged to drink plenty of water, limit strenuous outdoor activities during the hottest part of the day and check on relatives, neighbors and pets.

Smoke will also remain a concern as northerly and northeasterly winds carry wildfire smoke into the region. The thickest smoke is expected in Klamath and Lake counties, but smoke could also affect communities west of the Cascades, including Douglas County.

Forecasters said the smoke could reduce visibility at times. Smoke may also slightly affect daytime temperatures, although the National Weather Service expects the difference to generally be limited to a few degrees in areas farther from active fires.

The incoming heat will also create increasingly dry fire conditions.

A Red Flag Warning will be in effect from 2 p.m. Monday through 9 p.m. Tuesday for the Illinois and Rogue valleys, the Siskiyou Mountains and portions of the Southern Oregon Cascades. The warning does not currently include the Umpqua Valley, although hot, dry and occasionally windy conditions are expected throughout much of the region.

Humidity could fall into the single digits in some areas Tuesday through Thursday. Overnight humidity recovery may also be poor, particularly along upper slopes and ridges.

The combination of high temperatures, very low humidity and gusty winds could allow a fire to spread rapidly if one begins. Residents should use extra caution with vehicles, machinery, outdoor flames and anything capable of producing a spark.

Despite the heat and dry conditions, forecasters currently see little or no chance of thunderstorms during the next seven days. Temperatures may cool somewhat next weekend but are expected to remain above normal.

ROSEBURG, Ore. - The National Weather Service has issued a Heat Advisory for the Umpqua Valley as temperatures are expected to climb into the upper 90s Tuesday and Wednesday.

The advisory will be in effect from 11 a.m. Tuesday, Aug. 4, through 11 p.m. Wednesday, Aug. 5.

Forecasters expect daytime temperatures to reach approximately 96 to 99 degrees, while overnight lows are expected to remain between 60 and 65 degrees.

Communities included in the advisory area include Roseburg, Green, Winchester, Sutherlin, Drain, Elkton, Umpqua, Myrtle Creek and Canyonville.

The National Weather Service warned that the hot conditions could cause heat-related illnesses, particularly for people who spend extended periods outdoors or do not have access to air conditioning.

Residents are encouraged to drink plenty of fluids, limit time in direct sunlight and spend time in an air-conditioned location when possible. People should also check on relatives, neighbors and others who may be more vulnerable to the heat.

Children and pets should never be left unattended inside a parked vehicle, even for a short period of time.
